春夏花鳥図屏風（左隻）
"Why join the flowers and birds of spring and summer onto one screen?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a spring-and-summer bird-and-flower screen painted by Kano Eino of Japan's Kano school. Within one surface the spring flowers fade and pass into the green of summer. The seasons do not break off but begin the next at the end of each other. In this flow, spread across the gold-leaf ground particular to Japanese painting, I see the naturalness of change. We think the next can come only when one season ends, but in truth end and beginning lie layered on one surface. When one of my seasons sets, the next is already sprouting in that same place. The end always holds a beginning within it.

When you feel a phase ending, look together at the next beginning already sprouting at that closing place.
