Flowers of a Hundred Worlds (Momoyogusa): Autumn Night (Aki no yoru)

Kamisaka Sekka

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a monochromatic scene with shades of gray and beige. A large hill or mountain dominates the center, with a lighter-colored, diamond-patterned section on its left side. The top of the hill features several triangular shapes resembling spikes or fins. In the background, a large sun or moon is visible on the left. The foreground shows tall grasses and a fence-like structure with a grid pattern. Two rounded, patterned sections are on either side. The overall design suggests a stylized natural landscape, likely inspired by traditional Japanese art.
