左側の文様は雪持ちの松で実像のモチーフは松ぼっくりを選びました。正月をイメージし、松ぼっくりに金箔をあしらっています。
“This painting is also part of my Tagasode series. The left-hand side of the painting is a patterned design meant to represent a pine tree heavy with snow, which is paired on the right side of the work with a realistic image of a pine-cone. The gold leaf applied to the pine cones is meant to invoke New Year’s tidings and a celebratory mood.”

『誰が袖』は『誰が袖図屏風』から由来します。扇面なのでかなりデザイン化していますが、衣桁に掛かる着物や小物類をイメージしその文様に合わせた現実のモチーフを配しています。
“For these fan paintings, I have also included drawn elements onto the background mat portion of the frame. Among the various picture mounting styles for Japanese art, there is one called kaki-hyogu, meaning ‘a picture mount that is drawn upon,’ and was particularly favoured by Rinpa-school artists. Originally, there existed the practice of painting decorative patterns upon the fabric border of paintings. It was this effect that I was aiming for in my own works here. So as not to interfere with the motif on the front-facing paper portion of my piece, I achieved my desired look by applying foils and colours to the reverse side of the silk.”
