First to Bloom
最初に開花する
Ready-to-hang Premium Wooden Framed Poster With Museum-Quality Matte Paper
Woodblock-Inspired Plum Blossom Print
A plum tree stands in full view — graceful and unwavering.
Its slender branches cradle blossoms of soft pink, each petal a quiet herald of the seasons’ turn.
Behind, a wash of pale green, tender as spring’s first breath. Beside it: a vertical calligraphy scroll in flowing Japanese script — a verse, perhaps, or a name offered to time.
This is no fragment. This is the whole form of the tree — roots implied, limbs extended — drawn in the style of classical Chinese botanical art, yet finished with the bold clarity and natural rhythm of Katsushika Hokusai.
The texture of the woodcut remains: aged, imperfect, warm with history. A portrait of life not in motion, but in readiness — a plant poised to renew.
In the spirit of Onko Chishin — 温故知新: “To carry the past into the present with care and reverence.”
For those who cherish beginnings that come in stillness — and flowers that bloom before the rest.
