Sacred trees (Himorogi) can be found at Shinto shrines. These age-old trees are beautiful specimens of nature’s strength and longevity and add an extra level of serenity to their shrines. Sacred tree charges energy from land which is purified, a small part of the bottom part of the painting is left blank deliberately, this is the artist's intent to show that the land is pure, without any impurity and the nature is in harmony with us. Early Japanese culture did not have the notion of anthropomorphic deities, and simply felt the presence of nature's spirits and its phenomena (mountains, forests, rain, wind, and so on..) which are still their purpose today.

Spring Bliss No. 1 is a piece of the stunning Cherry Blossom. The painting does not only bring us a beautiful floral scene but also for the Japanese, the Cherry Blossom is an omen (as that's how Japanese sees it) that the gods of agriculture are coming down from mountains, proclaiming that Spring is coming to wake up the Mother Earth. Shoko also wants everyone to feel the energy and hope of cherry blossom as it is what the flower is symbolised as, Cherry Blossoms are flowers of hope. Shoko Okumura...

Riverside is a 2020 work of Maki Kuchida. Maki combines the Japanese landscape painting technique with the Chinese one thus her landscape work is unique in its own way. At first glance Riverside is the depiction of natural scenery of the mountain, trees, flowers, river and reflection of water. Maki paints with a wide view—with all the landscape elements arranged into a coherent composition. The clear blue sky is prominently included in the view that forms the key composition of the painting. As the saying the sky isn't always blue, so this landscape with a lovely blue sky symbolizes the ideal state of life. Maki’s Riverside subtly contains a spiritual element – the serenity of life, as reflected from the quiet and peaceful mood she created with colors and the composition. She is influenced by the traditional Chinese landscape painting style where the recognition of a literati spiritual element in landscape art is present. Riverside is not just a quiet and calm landscape painting as it appears, the motif is simple and yet laden with associations, the deep meaning is to inspire us to pursue the ultimate goals in life – happiness and peace of mind. The painted size of the work is approx. 25 x 58cm, while the framed size is approx. 45 x 78cm. It is framed with archival grade mount. There will be a certificate of authenticity issued with your acquisition. Maki's paintings may seem deceptively simple at first but indeed the colors and texture are achieved through a labor-intensive and time-consuming process as painting on silk for one color requires at least 8 layers of pigments. Maki paints using mineral pigments on silk...
