Bijutsukai Pl.126
1901
Step into the world of early 20th-century Japanese design with this page from *Bijutsukai* (Art World), a legendary art magazine published in 1901. Furuya Kōrin, a master of the Rinpa revival style, showcases a collection of exquisite decorative motifs here—think of them as the haute couture patterns of the Meiji period. You'll spot stylized chrysanthemums, peonies, and a charming rooster scene, all rendered in that signature Rinpa flair: bold outlines, flat colors, and a deep love for nature. These designs served as inspiration for kimono fabrics, lacquerware, and ceramics, proving that good design never goes out of style.
