Suiboku-kukan = January’s flower Daffodil =
The Latin name for the daffodil, narcissus, has its origins in Greek mythology. It is derived from the name of a boy, Narkissos.
According to legend, Narkissos was an extremely handsome young man. The object of desire by women throughout the land, Narkissos nonetheless rejected all advances. In punishment, Nemesis, the Goddess of Vengeance, caused Narkissos to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.
Narkissos was enraptured by his own visage, and his unmoving body turned into the daffodil as we know today. And that is the story of how the daffodil came to be called Narsissus. Similarly, we call a person intoxicated with their own beauty a narcissist.

To remove all extraneous elements from an object, leaving only its essence--this is the way of suiboku, the art of brush painting. A suiboku painting uses dramatic and exquisite strokes of charcoal to reveal both the vividness of nature and the philosophy of the painter.
