"Scent of the Chrysanthemum" (古菊の香り), by Kajita Hanko, 1902.

Another ethereal artwork by artist Kajita Hanko (梶田半古), a prolific kuchi-e (frontispiece art) artist with unique and fresh style.

There's a noticeable difference between this example of the shin-hanga style and more traditional ukiyo-e artworks. The style is more realistic compared with stylised depictions of beauty in the classic art. Furthermore, the process of colouring also went through changes, with the artist often producing a watercolour masterwork from which the specific printing blocks would be derived - as opposed to the old times, when ukiyo-e master would produce a line drawing and colours would be decided afterwards.

A young woman reclines leisurely among flowers, a single white chrysanthemum in her hand. She's breathing its scent, seemingly lost in thought. In Japanese culture white chrysanthemums mean grief - or truth and purity. Is she thinking of something or someone?.. Or is she simply enjoying the moment, lost in colours and scents of the flowers surrounding her?
