Painted Poem Gallery 「 KIKU-HANABI 」

It is always nice to welcome the Autumn season with beautiful Chrysanthemum.

And It is believed that people used to celebrate the Autumn festival
with Chrysanthemum viewing and Chrysanthemum rice wine.

Here is some flower words for Chrysanthemum:
' noble, please trust me, feminine love, purifying, truth love, broken romance '
- and there are some little differences in each colour.

Chrysanthemum symbolizes not only Autumn, but also kindness, a long and strong life.


So I painted this panting for somebody who I'd like to pay my thankfulness and respect to.
And I put my deep wish - that she will live strong and long -
just like a beautiful wild Chrysanthemum.
