O obrazu

Ogata Kōrin's Plum Tree, painted around 1700, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Its white flowers were reserved as unpainted areas of silk. Kōrin probably first outlined the tree, then washed ink over the surrounding surface while leaving spaces for the blossoms. He likely returned to define petals and, in some flowers, stamens and pistils. The trunk twists beyond the picture's view before a branch reappears. Fresh growth projects from an old broken limb, increasing the visual force of the pale blossoms.

Slovy muzea

Ogata Kōrin had to think through his design carefully to create these white plum blossoms and deliver their effect, as he used the reserve technique—where selected areas of the painting surface are left unpainted—to achieve it. He probably roughed in the tree before applying an ink wash to the entire silk surface, except where he intended to place the flowers. He likely then returned to articulate the petals and, in some cases, the pistils and stamens. The composition shows the tree twisting out of view, only to return with a branch of new growth jabbing forth from an old, broken limb, thereby heightening the visual impact of the blossoms.
