牡丹に孔雀図
"What did a painting of a splendid peacock and peony together mean to say?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This painting by Tani Buncho holds, in splendor, a peony in full bloom and a peacock. It was drawn in Japan, yet the heart that would leave the most radiant moment upon the canvas reaches anyone. I see here the height of beauty and its fleetingness held together. The peony is called the king of flowers, yet it falls within days. The peacock's feathers too drop once the season passes. The painter deliberately held and drew the most splendid moment. Because the radiant time is short, it is the more precious. That it is not eternal does not lessen the moment's worth but deepens it instead.

If you are enjoying a good season now, rather than assuming it eternal, enjoy it fully and be grateful.
