The original “Moon and Flowering Plants of Autumn” is drawn on the gold-colored silk. This artwork, on the other hand, uses the Blue Shell leaf, one of HAKUICHI’s proprietary colored metal leaves called Shikisai Haku, as the background to create the unique ambience that is different from the original work.
What are common to the original work are the leaves, balloonflowers, Japanese silver grass and yellow patrinia, moonlit in subtly greenish gold. Following Hoitsu’s style, they are portrayed with the complexly deep tones unique to Kanazawa Gold Leaf. Kudzu, exquisitely laid out with the moon at its back, gives the dynamism to the entire scene, which is another common element to the original work.
Shikisai Haku in the background has been pressed to the paper by the technique called Urabaku. In this technique, metal leaves are pressed over the high quality grass paper, which, in turn, is covered by silk gauze. It gives the gently matt texture which resembles the subtly misty air, showing beautifully the contrast of the moon light and the night sky by the subtle color and texture variation.
