Japanese Hydrangea prints

#hydrangea #japaneseprints #Bairei

Some of the most beautiful hydrangea prints come from #ShinHanga artists.

Perhaps because of the new aniline dyes ?

Bairei chose white hydrangeas as a subject and uses the mass and size of the bloom as a focal point .

#Koson uses more blue and adds a bird for contrast and contrasts large with small for both flowers and leaves and likewise a strong contrast of dark and light tones.
