Keika Hasegawa was active from 1893-1905. His most famous work is 100 Chrysanthemums, a glorious celebration of Japan’s most famous flower. As the Imperial Seal of the Emperor, the chrysanthemum gained notoriety as Japan’s favored emblem. Members of the royal family would compose seals with variations on that of the emperor. Using the Imperial Seal of the Chrysanthemum was limited to the emperor who sat on the Chrysanthemum Throne, the oldest continuing monarchy in the world. In Japan, the Order of the Chrysanthemum is the highest honor anyone can receive. It is said that the unfolding of this flower is a symbol of perfect order. Keika Hasegawa’s work is a wondrous collection of the many examples of this surprisingly varied botanical species. There is even a "Festival of Happiness" to celebrate this flower each year.
Woodblock printing flowered in the Edo Period, mid to late 19th century, and is still considered an art form of great precision and beauty. Keika Hasegawa captures both the vitality and life inherent in the chrysanthemum in each color woodblock print. Following the artist sketch, an image is carved into a block of wood. Black inks form the outline of the flower and color inks are applied to specific areas. The woodblock is then pressed to hand-made screened paper which is then hung to dry. The entire process of composing a single image can take weeks.
Keika Hasegawa chose beautiful flowers from both domestic gardens and the wild fields of Japan at the end of the 19th century. These are original antique woodblocks from an era of printing, art and design that is as ageless as the glorious chrysanthemum itself.

- The PlanLocated in Florham Park, NJSamurai Warriors Meiji 33 ( 1900) Woodblocks Original Hand-Color Woodblock printing flowered in the Edo Period in Japan, mid to late 19th century, and is still considered an art form of great precision and beauty. This style captures both the vitality and life inherent to the flower. Following the artist’s sketch, an image is carved into a block of wood to be transferred to paper in the same manner in which a painter applies his art to a canvas. Black inks form the outline of the flower and color inks are applied following nature’s guide. The woodblock is then pressed to hand-made screened paper which is then hung to dry. This lengthy process of composing a single image can take weeks. These images reflect a quality similar to watercolor and graphite resulting in a stunning and life-like portrayal. Samurai were the military nobility of medieval and early-modern Japan. According to translator William Scott Wilson...Category
