After the rain, let the music reign

There's something northern European about the setting (shades of van Goch somehow), but the title and characters are pure Fujishiro.

The dream of the pond lilies

The dream of the pond lilies

Typical Fujishiro features: grand pianos, lacy trees, a unicyclist, combine in an enigmatic composition. The "pond lilies" are actually mizu bashô (Latin Lysichiton camtschatcense), which is related to the North American skunk cabbage, but does not appear to have its characteristic bad odour.

Fujishiro Seiji

Born in 1924, Fujishiro has had a long and productive career as an illustrator - producing many children's books, and creating his own brand of fantasy along the way. From an early involvement with shadow puppetry, he developed his own unique style: he calls these kage-e (literally "shadow pictures"), but his is a backlit world not of black and white (or grey), but of wonderful translucent colours, apparently made mostly from tissue paper.

He is still active at the age of 80, and his work has appeared all over the world, most recently (February 2005) in New York and Washington.

Newsflash (Feb 2005)

Here's a review of his show at the Japan Information and Culture Center in Washington DC: "Symphony of Light and Shadow" (from the Washington Post).

Note: The translations of titles are mine.
