Bijutsukai Pl.124 by Furuya Kōrin, 1901

Step into the elegant world of the Rimpa revival with this charming design by Furuya Kōrin. The image presents a repeating horizontal pattern of stylized nature, featuring fluffy green mounds—likely pine trees—interspersed with fiery red maples and delicate white blossoms. It looks like a textile sample or a decorative border, showcasing the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in rhythmic, simplified natural forms. Published in the art magazine 'Bijutsukai' in 1901, this piece captures the lingering influence of Ogata Kōrin, the legendary artist whose name Furuya adopted as an homage.
