🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What season do the winter plum and the waterside bird endure together?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This Japanese painting by Kano Masanobu holds plum and bird at the cold waterside in restrained ink. Even in the cold the flower blooms and the bird remains. In a scene that passes a harsh season together, there is the quiet consolation that hardship cannot, in the end, drive out all life. Just as the plum endures winter, blooms, and brings the first word of spring, living things prepare for what comes next even in hard times. To endure is not only to hold out but to raise the next flower within that holding.
