This decorative plate features a series of six butterflies arranged in an orderly manner. Each specimen displays a marked contrast between the dark body of the wings and a wide border in yellow and orange tones, creating chromatic harmony with the touches of blue and brown visible in the composition.

The work is taken from the book Chō senshu, a major collection published in 1903. Kamisaka Sekka deploys the principles of the Rimpa style, characterized by a simplification of natural forms and a bold use of pigments to transform the entomological subject into a purely ornamental motif.

Intended for interior decoration or iconographic study, this reproduction allows one to appreciate the rigor of Japanese composition. It constitutes a visual testimony to the evolution of the print toward an affirmed graphic modernity.
