The title, Chigusa, refers to the “many varieties” of flowers, and the work lives up to its name by showcasing a diverse and elegant selection of botanical illustrations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Meiryo;\"\u003eRendered in refined multi-colored woodblock printing (nishiki-e), Bairei’s illustrations blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with decorative composition and subtle influences from Western naturalist styles.
