舘森邦子

尺寸:68x60(framed)

日本籍藝術家舘森邦子以和紙繪的方式製作的作品。所謂和紙繪，是指創作者以和紙作為創作的媒材，將和紙當作顏料，撕成紙纖維，再根據構畫的圖案加以黏附上去，形成畫面。創作者可以使用和紙本身的顏色，也可以事後加以染色，以符合畫面的需求。由於紙纖維的特性帶有不規則的毛邊，以及層層堆疊後所產生出來的厚度，使和紙繪的作品容易產生宛如油畫般厚重且帶有筆觸的效果。
作品畫面約可以分做三部分，分別是前景、中景與背景。前景的部分以細碎的黃色筆觸點染出一叢一叢的花叢。雖然無法就畫面中的繪畫細節確認所畫的花朵，但推測應該是油菜花一類，因在溫帶地區，油菜花一般是在三四月的時候開花，與櫻花開放的時間一致。中景則是畫面的主題，中央一株有著粗壯樹幹，樹枝向四方開展的櫻花樹，其上開滿粉紅色的櫻花。畫面上的櫻花以粉紫、粉紅敷染，上面綴染白點，地面與其他地方也點染白點與粉紅點，宛如「櫻吹雪」的情景。
背景則是淡藍色的天空，間或點綴一點白色的雲朵，地面以褐色的土地，點綴綠色的小草等植物，表現出鄉間野外，油菜花田旁，有一株櫻花盛開的景象。黃色的油菜花與粉紅色的櫻花互相輝映，配上晴朗的藍天，成為日本在春天時節的典型風情。左下角則以朱文「舘森」方印落款。(508字)

Japanese artist Tatemori Kuniko uses the washi-e technique in her work. Washi-e refers to a Japanese art form that adopted washi paper as its main medium: the primary method uses the fiber of torn washi (colored) paper to create images. The artist can use the initial color of the washi paper or color it afterward to match the imagery. Due to the paper's material and the thick texture created by stacking layers, the washi-e works often have an impasto and brush-like effect that resemble oil paintings.
The picture can be divided into three parts: foreground, middle, and background. In the foreground, the flowers are colored with fine yellow strokes. Although it is difficult to identify the exact species of flowers, it is assumed that they are rapeseed flowers, as they usually bloom in March and April in temperate regions, the same time as cherry blossoms. The middle ground depicts the primary subject matter of the piece. In the center, a cherry-blossom tree with a thick trunk and branches spreading in all directions stands. Colored in purple and pink with white dots decorating the top and the ground, the painting resembles a rare sight of "cherry blossom in spring flurries." The background is a light blue sky, occasionally decorated with little white clouds, the ground with brown land, green grass, and other plants, showing a rape fields countryside scene next to cherry blossoms. The yellow rape flowers and pink cherry blossoms are in harmony, creating a serene, archetypal Japanese spring scenery. The painting is signed with the square seal "Tatemori" in vermilion color in the lower-left corner.
