Bijutsukai Pl.96
1901
Furuya Kōrin brings a playful, rhythmic energy to this 1901 illustration, layering overlapping fans across a soft green background. Each fan acts as a tiny window into traditional Japanese motifs, featuring everything from bold red geometric patterns to delicate processions of tiny figures. Published in the influential art magazine Bijutsukai, this piece showcases Kōrin's deep connection to the Rinpa school, blending classical elegance with a modern, graphic sensibility that feels surprisingly fresh over a century later.
