Bijutsukai Pl.88
1901
Furuya Kōrin takes the classic, flowing aesthetics of the Rinpa school and gives them a geometric twist in this vibrant 1901 illustration. Swirling waves of deep blue, rust, and black are sliced apart by sharp, triangular shapes, creating a dizzying effect like looking at a traditional pattern through a kaleidoscope. Published in the famous art magazine *Bijutsukai*, this piece helped reintroduce the bold, decorative style of Ogata Kōrin to the Meiji era public. It’s a perfect blend of ancient Japanese motifs and early modern graphic design.
