Flowering Plants and Vegetables of the Four Seasons
Golden screen with six panels, featuring a landscape with various flowering plants and vegetables. The background is a mottled gold color. Multiple plant species are depicted in the foreground and middle ground, some with flowers, others without. The plants vary in size and shape. Some have long, thin stems and leaves; others are bushier with more rounded leaves. Flowers are present but not the primary focus. No people or animals are visible. The overall style appears traditional and possibly Asian. The image by Tohaku Hasegawa is titled "Flowering Plants and Vegetables of the Four Seasons".
