About the Artist
Taguchi Tomoki was a Japanese artist active in the mid-19th century, a period when woodblock prints flourished as a form of accessible art and cultural expression. His work is closely associated with the ukiyo-e tradition, particularly the kacho-e genre, which celebrates the beauty of birds and flowers through careful observation and elegant design.
Tomoki’s prints reflect a refined sensibility, blending artistic skill with a deep appreciation for nature’s fleeting moments. For those interested in Japanese vintage art, his approach offers a window into the aesthetics and values of the late Edo period.

The Artwork
Yatsuo no tsubaki was created in 1865 during a time when seasonal motifs held special significance in Japanese culture. The camellia, depicted here, is a winter-blooming flower symbolizing resilience and quiet beauty. Such prints were often exchanged as gifts or displayed in homes to mark the changing seasons, inviting contemplation and appreciation of nature’s cycles.
This artwork reflects the Edo-period tradition of using art to bring the outside world indoors, enriching daily life with poetic references to nature. It embodies the spirit of salon gatherings and the custom of celebrating seasonal transitions through visual art.
Style & Characteristics
The composition is calm and spacious, featuring crisp outlines and simplified forms characteristic of Japanese woodblock printing. The scene is anchored by a broad green ground, with the camellia and bird rendered in white, black, and subtle green tones. The design balances negative space and detail, creating a harmonious and modern impression.
The mood is tranquil and reflective, emphasizing balance and clarity. This vintage Japanese nature print pairs well with other green wall art and appeals to collectors of bird imagery, offering a serene focal point for any space.
