Each print features a vignette taken from nature or Japanese literature. Many of the scenes have a long history in Japan, originating in the 900s or 1000s and having been interpreted by all manner of artists since that time. Sekka’s selections hew closely to precedents from the Rinpa style originated by painter Tawaraya Sōtatsu (c. 1570–c. 1640) and calligrapher Hon’ami Kōetsu (1558–1637).These deluxe albums, enhanced with gold and silver, reproduce the work of Kamizaka Sekka, who emulated the decorative style of painter Ogata Korin and his successors.
