Bijutsukai Pl.197
1901
Step into a whimsical garden where tall, ghostly stalks of wheat in mint and peach sway gently in the breeze. Furuya Kōrin, a master of the decorative Rinpa style, created this playful scene for the 1901 art magazine *Bijutsukai*. The butterflies are the stars of the show—some are solid purple silhouettes, while others are just delicate outlines, creating a fun sense of depth and movement. It’s a beautiful example of how Japanese artists in the Meiji era kept traditional nature motifs alive by turning them into stylish, graphic designs.
