Shikunshi means the four particular flowers, bamboo,Japanese apricot, chrysanthemum and orchid. Also each flower has meaning of its season like orchid in spring,bamboo in summer, chrysanthemum in autumn and Japanese apricot in winter. So we enjoy it through all seasons.
The title -Shikunshi- is a typical one expressed the ideal of the spirit of Nanga, but rare one which has all of four kinds of them in a set.

This work was depicted at his age 53 in 1828.
It has a good mount of Nanga style.

These tips were made of ivory. So they will be changed into different tips. (Washington Convention)
