Bijutsukai Pl.209
1901
Imagine a vintage mood board for a luxury kimono designer in 1901 Japan! This vibrant page from the art magazine *Bijutsukai* showcases Furuya Kōrin, an artist who adopted the name of a 17th-century master to revive the classic Rinpa style. The design is a rhythmic dance of overlapping wave patterns (seigaiha) and geometric wheels, all cradling elegant, stylized birds. It perfectly captures the Meiji era's obsession with repackaging traditional aesthetics for a modern world.
