Description: This print features four vibrant chrysanthemums in different colors: red, orange, yellow, and white. Among them, one is depicted with large, ruffled petals, while the other three have shorter, more compact ones. The chrysanthemum is known as the 'queen of flowers' and the 'flower of emperors' in Japan, holds deep cultural significance, and has been used in the design of the Imperial family crest.

The delicate arrangement and the dynamic interplay of colors and forms highlight Shunsho’s exceptional skill in capturing the beauty of nature. This harmonious composition reflects his mastery in rendering botanical subjects with elegance and precision.

This version is a post-war reproduction by Adach Company.
