Sekka Roosters from Momoyogusa Japanese Art Tissue Paper

Roosters from Momoyogusa – Flowers of a Hundred Generations (ca. 1909–1910) by Kamisaka Sekka depicts two roosters in a serene and symbolic landscape. The roosters stand proudly amidst blooming chrysanthemums. Their plumage is delicately painted with intricate detail, showcasing the beauty of traditional Japanese artistic techniques. The chrysanthemums, often symbolising longevity and beauty, enhance the richness of the scene, while the roosters evoke themes of vitality and resilience. This work beautifully captures the harmony between nature and symbolic representation, merging lively colours with symbolic meaning in a striking and elegant manner.
