Japanese Woodblock Print, undated
SIZE IN INCHES: 9.75 x 11 inches
COMMENTS: In Japanese culture, hydrangeas - known as ajisai - are deeply intertwined with the arrival of the summer rainy season (tsuyu), symbolizing heartfelt emotion, gratitude, and sincere apology. The flower's primary emotional association stems from an ancient Japanese legend. A Japanese emperor gave blue hydrangeas to the family of the woman he loved to apologize for neglecting her for his duties, making the bloom a traditional gesture of remorse and deep gratitude.
