Plum blossom branch with pale pink blossoms, made with Japanese ink and watercolours on rice paper. Plum blossoms are part of the four gentlemen (nobles) of traditional Chinese art, together with orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Plum trees are the first to bloom in early spring. They often withstand frost and snow, starting the popular cherry blossom season in Japan and in other countries. The painting is artist's tribute to the beauty of spring and resilient yet lovely flowers.
