Sakurajima Camellia SAKURAJIMA Tsubaki

Sakurajima Tsubaki | Symbolic art of "strength and beauty" drawn with Sakurajima volcanic ash

"Sakurajima Camellia SAKURAJIMA Tsubaki" is a one-of-a-kind artwork painted using volcanic ash from Sakurajima, Kagoshima. Camellia flowers quietly bloom at the foot of Sakurajima. Their dignified appearance and lustrous beauty are expressed with the deep shadows and texture unique to volcanic ash.

Camellias are traditional Japanese flowers and have been a symbol of elegance, strength, and eternal beauty since ancient times. They are also known worldwide as a flower beloved by Coco Chanel, and are loved by many people across borders as a flower that symbolizes universal elegance.

The unique gradation created by the particles of volcanic ash vividly brings out the moist presence of the camellia petals, the depth of the overlapping leaves, and the drama of light and shadow. The randomness of the natural materials further accentuates the vitality of the flowers themselves, which is another appealing feature of this work.

This is a unique piece of art born from the combination of two natural forces: the energy of the active volcano Sakurajima and the eternal beauty of camellias.
