Damien Hirst’s ‘Honour’ evokes the artist’s characterisation of his ‘Cherry Blossoms’ (2018-20) painting series as “garish, messy and fragile”. The sixth work from his ‘The Virtues’ (H9, 2021) print series, ‘Honour’ is named for the sixth and highly prized virtue of Bushidō, the Samurai code of ethics. As described by Nitobe Inazō, Honour is to have a “vivid consciousness of personal dignity and worth”.
