Poppy flowers. Painted with ink and watercolours on rice paper. Inspired by the change of seasons and bright summer sun.
 
Symbolism notes: unlike Western culture, where red poppies symbolise death and remembrance, keshi no hana or keshi (ケシの花 ) - the Japanese poppies - are more light-hearted and they symbolise fun, love and passion. Poppies are a popular subject in Japanese art and poetry. Painting makes a long-lasting gift for a art enthusiast or an avid art collector.
