{"product_id":"ink-plum-byosen-myoshitsu","title":"Ink Plum - Byōsen Myōshitsu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of traditional Japanese ink wash scrolls depicting plum blossoms, executed in the Muromachi period style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis diptych, attributed to the Japanese monk-painter Byōsen Myōshitsu, represents the tradition of ink wash painting, or sumie, which flourished during the Muromachi period. The work depicts plum branches, a subject deeply embedded in East Asian aesthetic philosophy. The plum blossom is traditionally associated with resilience, as it is one of the first flowers to bloom in the cold of late winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMyōshitsu employs a restrained palette of monochrome ink to capture the essence of the subject. The brushwork varies between the thick, textured strokes used for the gnarled trunks and the delicate, precise lines defining the individual blossoms. The composition relies on the interplay between positive and negative space, a hallmark of Zen-influenced art. The branches extend across the vertical format, creating a sense of growth and movement that feels both controlled and spontaneous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis style of painting was often produced by Zen monks as a form of meditative practice. The focus is not on realistic representation, but on the capture of the inner spirit of the plant. The subtle tonal gradations in the ink suggest depth and atmosphere, despite the lack of colour. The mounting, which frames the two scrolls, provides a structured border that complements the organic forms of the plum trees. This piece offers a quiet, contemplative addition to a space, reflecting the minimalist principles of Japanese ink painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ink-plum-and-bamboo-hoashi-kyou\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eInk Plum and Bamboo - Hoashi Kyōu — Hoashi Kyōu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Byōsen Myōshitsu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59033517424975,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59033908019535,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59033908052303,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59033908085071,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59033908117839,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59033908150607,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59033908183375,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59033908216143,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59033908248911,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59033908281679,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59033908314447,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59033908347215,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ink-Plum_Poster_CompositorV1_1791360985580.jpg?v=1791362198","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/ink-plum-byosen-myoshitsu","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
