Description
A woven wicker basket with a tall arched handle holds an overflowing arrangement of flowers against a solid dark indigo ground: a large pink peony with a yellow center dominates the lower left, joined by white magnolia blooms, small white and pink blossoms on slender branches arching upward, and clusters of tiny red berries or buds tucked among green leaves. The composition is vertical and dense, with the basket's open latticework visible at its base, and the artist's red seal appears at the lower right. *A Basket with Various Flowers*, a color woodblock print by Ohara Koson, 1932.
