In traditional symbolism: - The vase represents containment of virtue and cultivated refinement. - The flowers, likely peonies and plum blossoms, symbolize wealth, purity, and seasonal grace. - The phrase “Gyokudō” refers to a scholarly retreat, while “Fuki” evokes prosperity and noble character. Chinzan’s ink technique emphasizes delicate brushwork, spatial balance, and poetic atmosphere, hallmarks of Japanese literati painting (bunjinga).
