Hiroplum


This is "Hiroplum" from John Hudock's collection of Japanese prints (seen at Common Sense & Wonder).

I was immediately drawn to this print because of the gorgeous juxtaposition of green and red. While many of us may associate those colors with Christmas, this Japanese artist probably felt and saw something quite different.

I also appreciated the little quarter-circle cutouts at the corners of this print. I tried to reinforce that small design motif in my horizontal background.
