Bijutsukai Pl.145
1901
Step into a whimsical world where nature gets a geometric makeover! Furuya Kōrin, a master of the Rinpa style revival in early 20th-century Japan, designed this piece for his influential art magazine *Bijutsukai*. Swirling green waves and stylized pine trees with deep blue foliage create a rhythmic background for large, floating white rectangles—resembling poem cards or sheets of paper—drifting downstream. It’s a fascinating mix of traditional Japanese aesthetics and a bold, almost modern graphic layout that feels like a visual poem.
