Floral series

The floral series - orchid, rose, chrysanthemum, peony, and iris - appeared over the year from March 2006 to March 2007, an extravagantly lush set of designs... And then others have been added from time to time.

3000: Dark cherry

A courtesan shows off her opulent kimono, among equally luxuriant surroundings—falling cherry blossom, and a crescent moon.

Morita Haruyo

Haruyo: signature and seal

The artist Morita Haruyo studied both Japanese art and kimono design, and she combines these with elements of her own Western-influenced technique. (She travelled to London in 1977, exactly the year I [Brian Chandler] first came to Tokyo.)

Morita is her family name: she follows the tradition of signing - and sealing - paintings with her given name only.
