Bijutsukai Pl.135
1901
Stylized morning glories and swirling water currents dance across this page in a vibrant display of the Rinpa school style. Created by Furuya Kōrin for the art magazine *Bijutsukai* in 1901, the piece pays homage to the legendary Ogata Kōrin, whose famous screens featured similar floral motifs. The interlocking red, green, and beige shapes show how traditional Japanese design was being packaged and shared with the public during the Meiji era, turning high art into accessible illustrations.
