1901
Furuya Kōrin's 1901 illustration showcases a delightful collection of stylized snowflakes set against a backdrop of faint, overlapping shapes. You'll spot everything from a propeller-like spinner to a classic six-pointed crystal and a bold, circular pattern dotted with white spots. These designs, known as yukiwa (snow circles), were popular motifs in Japanese decorative arts, often adorning kimono fabrics and lacquerware. Published in the influential art magazine Bijutsukai (Art World), this plate reflects the Meiji era's fascination with blending traditional Rinpa aesthetics with modern graphic design. It's essentially a vintage catalog of winter's most fashionable shapes!
