Kōno Bairei – Pink Rose (c. late 19th century) – Grace in Bloom, Beauty in Balance Print

Kōno Bairei’s Pink Rose is a delicate celebration of natural beauty, rendered with the subtle precision that defines his mastery of kacho-ga—the traditional Japanese art of flowers and birds. The soft petals of the rose unfold with quiet elegance, their blush tone set against spare leaves and negative space. Each brush stroke is intentional, capturing both the fragility and resilience of a rose in bloom.

In Japanese symbolism, roses convey love, transience, and refined emotion. Bairei distills these meanings into a timeless floral portrait, inviting stillness, admiration, and a deeper appreciation of beauty’s fleeting nature.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.
