Shojima Seiichiro Botanical Exhibition "Flower Picture Book to the North"
Shojima Seiichiro Botanical Exhibition "Flower Picture Book to the North"
Botanical art (botanical art) has developed to put it in the books necessary for distinguishing plants. Therefore, it is necessary to precisely observe the target plant and draw accurately without adding the author's exaggeration. There are also rules such as depicting in real size and making the background white. However, despite such restrictions, attracted by the beauty that lives there, recently in Japan, lovers who draw botanical drawings are starting to increase.
Mr. Koichiro Samejima is interested in plants from the influence of school teachers when he was a boy, and starts sketching of plants. And I went to Hokkaido University to research vegetation virtually and I have drawn many plants living in Hokkaido until now. This exhibition introduces Mr. Samejima's 110 botanical collections, which are stored in Takigawa City Art Natural History Museum.

After seeing Mr. Samejima's botanical paintings, jump outside and touch the "grass", "flowers" and "trees" that live around Arishima Takeo Memorial Museum surrounded by rich nature. By then, you will surely know that even plants that you have thought to be nameless have names, and that each season has its own beauty. And from now on, even the roads we walk casually will be full of encounters with the plants that take root there. Is it not?
