Shikunshi —The Four Gentlemen :
In East Asian ink painting and calligraphy, the Four Gentlemen (Shikunshi)—Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, and Plum—are traditional subjects for learning the fundamentals of painting.
Originating in China, each plant represents a season and symbolizes the virtues of a noble and refined character. Together, they form an auspicious traditional motif, associated with elegance, integrity, virtue, and good fortune.
The motif was introduced to Japan during the Edo period and became popular in decorative arts such as tea utensils, kimono, and ceramics.
