日陰から 姫がやってきた
柔らかで 芯の強い美しさ
周りのつややかな葉も 強い味方
静かに確かに そこにいる

Double-flowered Pink Sasanqua
A princess appeared from behind the garden.
She had soft and strong beauty.
The surrounding glossy leaves are also a strong ally.
Quietly, surely she is there.
庭の日陰に咲いたサザンカの花です。
はじめこの絵を描いた時、ツバキだと勘違いしていました。
ツバキとの違いは花。
サザンカは日本では11月頃咲き、花びらが落ちます。
花びらの桃色で庭先が明るくなります。
This is a sasanqua flower that bloomed in the shade of the garden.
When I first drew this picture, I mistakenly thought it was a camellia.
The difference from camellia is the flowers.
Sasanqua flowers bloom around November in Japan, and the petals fall off.
The pink petals will brighten up the garden.
