Did you know? While Taguchi Tomoki is known for his exquisite kacho-ga (bird-and-flower) prints, particularly his depictions of camellias, detailed biographical information about him is relatively scarce. Many artists of the Ukiyo-e period, especially those who focused on specific genres like botanical studies, are not as extensively documented as more prominent figures like Hokusai or Hiroshige. This makes their surviving works all the more valuable, offering a glimpse into the rich diversity of Japanese artistic expression during this era.

Bring a touch of Japanese artistic heritage and the delicate beauty of camellias into your home with this exquisite "Yatsuo no Tsubaki" piece.
