White Phoenix
Pictures by Kamisaka Sekka
A white phoenix sweeps across a glowing burnt-orange ground, its long feathered tail trailing behind, from Kamisaka Sekka's Flowers of a Hundred Worlds, printed in Kyoto in 1909-10. In East Asian legend the phoenix appears only in times of peace and good fortune, which makes this graceful bird a quiet wish for both. For someone setting out on something new.
