Art Society Pl.102
1901
Step into the world of early 20th-century Japanese design with this elegant fan illustration by Furuya Kōrin. The piece showcases a folding fan seemingly bursting from its protective box, decorated with delicate morning glories and a scattering of geometric diamonds—a hallmark of the decorative Rinpa style. Kōrin, named after the legendary Ogata Kōrin, was a master of blending nature with bold patterns, turning a simple cooling tool into a canvas for high art. The soft peach and blue hues suggest a summer breeze captured in ink, likely published as a plate in the art magazine 'Bijutsukai'.
