Did You Know?

Shazanrō was one of Tani Bunchō's style names.
An open book spread features a woodblock-printed lily within thin black borders. On the left, a large, drooping white bloom with prominent dark stamens sits atop slender, gray-green leaves. A long bud extends horizontally on the right page, growing from a central stem marked with small red dots. A small red seal is stamped in the lower right corner against the plain beige paper.
