Kaika

The First Bloom
Classic Semi-Glossy Paper Metal Framed Poster
There’s a particular moment before full blossom, when the air carries potential and silence still surrounds the unfolding. Kaika — the first bloom — captures that pause. The branch doesn’t shout. It leans. It waits. It opens.
This painting honors that earliest sign of renewal. Inspired by sumi-e minimalism but rendered in textured, expressive brushwork, it balances restraint and vitality in one visual breath.
温故知新 – Onko Chishin
To “learn the new by revering the old.” In Japan, the bloom is not just beauty — it is impermanence, effort, courage. In Europe, too, flowering marks a subtle threshold, the inward turned outward. This piece bridges that shared reverence: seasonal fragility meets timeless strength.
Let Kaika hang where patience lives. Where stillness builds. Where something quiet is always becoming.
