Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a flowering plant against a light brown background. A thick, gnarled, light brown trunk rises from the bottom, branching into thinner stems. Numerous dark green, oval-shaped leaves cluster along these branches, some revealing lighter green undersides. Five prominent red flowers with distinct white centers are distributed among the leaves. Each flower features multiple overlapping petals, forming a full, rounded shape. The plant is positioned slightly to the right of the vertical center, with its branches extending upwards and outwards. The central painted area is bordered on the left and right by a light beige fabric with a subtle pattern of small, light brown dots. At the very top and bottom, horizontal decorative bands display a dark blue background with gold and light green floral or cloud-like motifs. In the lower right quadrant of the main painting, a vertical inscription of dark characters reads "上総画", followed by a square red seal.
