His Water Lilies, in particular, are a masterpiece that almost everyone has encountered at some point. ----- In his paintings of water lilies, not only the flowers and leaves but also the surrounding plants like weeping willows are reflected like mirrors. At times, even the scenes beneath the water's surface are portrayed, capturing the light and water as he saw them in that moment. ----- Monet constructed a water lily pond in the garden of his home in Giverny, where he created over 200 pieces in the Water Lilies series. Around this pond, an abundance of Japanese plants such as weeping willows, water lilies, irises, bamboo, and peonies were planted. There are records indicating that he received bulbs from Japan. Monet held a strong interest in Japanese art, amassing a collection of ukiyo-e prints, and this influence is said to be evident in his Water Lilies pond. ----- Kohakutou - Water Lily - was inspired by Monet's artwork "Agapanthus" housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art. Agapanthus, which blooms from the rainy season into summer, is known for its striking blue-purple and cool white flowers. Its slender, elongated stems bear numerous small flowers, exuding an elegance and distinctive presence.

フランスの印象派画家、クロード・モネは、光と季節の移ろいを繊細に描き出した名匠です。特に、モネの睡蓮は誰もが一度は目にしたことがあるでしょう。 彼の睡蓮の絵には、花や葉だけでなく、池の周囲に咲くしだれ柳などの植物が、まるで鏡のように映し出され、時折は池の中の景色も映し出されます。それはまさに、彼がその瞬間に見た光と水の表現です。 モネは自宅の庭に睡蓮の池を造り、そこで200枚以上の睡蓮の連作を制作しました。この池の周囲には、しだれ柳、睡蓮、あやめ、竹、芍薬など、日本の植物が豊富に植えられていました。実際、日本から球根を送ってもらったという記録も残っています。モネは日本の美術に興味を持ち、浮世絵のコレクションも多く所有しており、その影響が睡蓮の池にも色濃く表れています。 琥珀糖 Water Lily はクリーブランド美術館に所蔵されているモネの作品「アガパンサス」からインスピレーションを得た琥珀糖です。梅雨時から夏にかけて咲くアガパンサスの青紫色や清涼感ある白い花は、その独特の存在感で私たちを魅了します。長く伸びた茎にたくさんの小さな花が咲くその姿は、優雅で特別な魅力に満ちています。
