The composition is strikingly modern: thick black outlines define the strong, angular petals, while flat fields of vivid red and white radiate from a golden-yellow center. The natural cedar grain of the wood remains visible beneath the paint, grounding the dynamic image in the warmth of traditional material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camellia holds seasonal and symbolic meaning in Japan. Blooming in late winter and early spring—around the time of the Omizutori rites at Nigatsu-dō—the tsubaki represents quiet strength, purity, and resilience in the cold. Its dignified form and rich color harmonize with the solemn yet powerful atmosphere of Nigatsu-dō’s ancient ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 15 x 10.5 x 0.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56507848786251,"sku":"EM020","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_0605c612-ee64-4981-b993-6eddef55c9b1.jpg?v=1770930562","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/products\/em020-ema-plaque-from-todai-ji-%e6%9d%b1%e5%a4%a7%e5%af%ba","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
