Description : Fiery red plant (Red amaranth). A flock of flying geese are seen on the blue sky above. The leaves of this decorative plant are edible and used for red dyes. The narrow small "tanzaku" format was a design challenge for the few artists who dared to use it. But the challenge did not daunt masterful Koho SHODA or Gesso YOSHIMOTO. They came up with countless wonderful designs for the limited space format.
