This woodblock print illustrates a lush cluster of roses in various shades of cream, pink, and deep crimson, set against dark green foliage and a light, neutral background. The composition is a double-page plate from the botanical series Seiyo Soka Zufu (Pictorial Book of Western Flowers). The technical nature is a multi-colour woodblock print (nishiki-e), published in Kyoto by Unsodo and printed by Sagi Keizo using the original woodblocks. This work is significant for its role in the transition of Japanese floral art during the Taisho era, representing a shift toward more naturalistic and vivid depictions of non-native species while utilizing traditional woodblock craftsmanship.

He was a prominent figure in the Nihon-ga movement and specialized in kacho-e, the traditional genre of bird and flower motifs.

His extensive collaborations with the publisher Unsodo resulted in several influential botanical albums that documented flora with technical precision and artistic elegance.
