Bijutsukai Pl.90
1901
Bursting with energy, this vibrant print features bold splashes of red and brown that look like stylized clouds or foliage dancing across the page. Nestled among these organic shapes are delicate chrysanthemums and striped, bud-like forms that add a touch of intricate detail to the composition. Created by Furuya Kōrin for the art magazine *Bijutsukai* in 1901, the piece showcases the Rinpa school's signature love for decorative, flat patterns that often inspired luxury textiles and lacquerware. It serves as a beautiful snapshot of how traditional Japanese aesthetics were preserved and celebrated during the rapid modernization of the Meiji period.
