Bijutsukai Pl.111
1901
Step into a world where nature meets geometry in this stunning design by Furuya Kōrin. Created for the art magazine *Bijutsukai* in 1901, this piece showcases the artist's mastery of the Rinpa style, which he helped revive during the Meiji era. Swirling shapes filled with a blue-and-white geometric pattern—resembling stylized clouds or flowing water—dance across a pale green background. Amidst these abstract forms, delicate cherry blossoms and vibrant maple leaves float freely, creating a beautiful contrast between rigid structure and organic beauty that likely inspired textiles of the time.
