- Description
Bamboo has been popular as a theme since ancient times because it is said that the straight-lined appearance shows straightness and momentum, the characteristic that never breaks shows strength and the characteristic that does not fade shows prosperity. Also, in Japan, vermilion is said to dispel evil, and bamboo drawn in vermilion color has been drawn to bring good fortune.
Bamboo has been drawn by many people as a theme for learning how to draw oriental painting, but on the other hand, it is easy for the skill of painting to appear. In this work, vermilion bamboo is drawn at once with the powerful brush strokes of Miyake Wakō, and you can feel the vitality of bamboo from the depiction of the knot of the bamboo as well as the straightness of the bamboo. The vigorously drawn bamboo leaves even make you feel as if they are fluttering in the wind. It is a piece that you can feel the skillful brush strokes of Miyake Wakō.
