Bijutsukai Pl.142
1901
Step into a world of rhythmic repetition where nature is reduced to pure pattern. Furuya Kōrin, a Meiji-era painter who literally adopted the name of a 17th-century master to honor him, presents a landscape that feels more like a textile design than a realistic scene. Rows of identical, cloud-like trees with lush green tops and reddish trunks line the curving shores, separated by waters rendered in delicate, wavy white lines. Published in the art magazine *Bijutsukai* in 1901, this piece is a perfect example of the Rinpa revival, prioritizing decorative beauty over perspective.
