Art Society Pl.101
1901
Published in the prestigious art magazine Bijutsukai in 1901, this vibrant design by Furuya Kōrin is a fantastic example of the Rinpa revival style. Stylized white plum blossoms float amidst scalloped circular frames in red and green, enclosing geometric lattice patterns and soft peach tones. The background features dramatic blue and yellow drips, creating a sense of movement that feels almost like melting wax or stylized rain. Kōrin, who actually adopted the name of the legendary Ogata Kōrin, was instrumental in bringing these classical, decorative Japanese aesthetics into the modern Meiji era.
