This print reproduction comes from the series Chō senshu, published in 1903. The composition stands out for its orderly arrangement of green and yellow butterflies forming an arc. The uniform beige background highlights the precision of the lines and the softness of the harmonious colors chosen by Kamisaka Sekka.

The influence of the Rimpa movement is evident in the extreme stylization of the insects and the elegance of the layout. Sekka here merges the traditional Japanese pictorial tradition with a modern sense of decorative geometry, creating a work where nature is organized according to rigorous aesthetic laws.

This illustration constitutes a chromatic and formal study of great finesse. It perfectly illustrates the encyclopedic intention of the original work, aiming to record the beauty of Lepidoptera through the prism of early-century Japanese graphic art.
