Bijutsukai Pl.168
1901
Furuya Kōrin, a master of the decorative Rinpa school, created this rhythmic pattern of overlapping pink and yellow arches that resemble stylized waves or fish scales. Scattered across this geometric backdrop are several lobed green leaves, seemingly caught in a gentle breeze as they float down the page. Published in the art magazine *Bijutsukai* in 1901, the piece showcases the artist's talent for blending traditional Japanese motifs with a fresh sensibility popular during the Meiji era. It's a delightful example of how pattern and nature can dance together.
