Flowers of the Four Seasons
About the Item
Each of the twelve clusters on the screens represents a group of plants from a particular season. The grouping of the clusters is according to a larger plan: the larger cluster of chrysanthemums growing around a fence forms the left-most panels of the right-hand screen. This group connects to another autumn group in the right-most panels of the left-hand screen. Placed next to each other, these two halves combine to form a coherent program: the panels furthest to the right display the only cluster of spring flowers, from this, the directions (like that of a handscroll) goes left, and we travel through groups of summer and autumn clusters. At the very end, we meet the only winter group in the screens: a small group of narcissus peeking from around the farthest corner.
Similar examples are in a number of museum collections.
