Bijutsukai Pl.164
1901
Step into the world of early 20th-century Japanese design with this rhythmic pattern by Furuya Kōrin. He arranges stylized camellia flowers in alternating shades of grey and white against a trellis-like grid, creating a look that feels both modern and deeply traditional. This plate appeared in *Bijutsukai*, a famous art magazine that helped preserve Japanese aesthetics while the country was rapidly modernizing. Kōrin, who took his name from the legendary Rinpa master Ogata Kōrin, was a champion of this decorative style, often creating designs that looked like they belonged on a high-end kimono.
