Fagiano
1658-1716
Meet this vocal pheasant, captured mid-cry by the legendary Ogata Kōrin. With its sleek black neck and vibrant red face, the bird stands out boldly against a field of delicate blue asters. Kōrin was a master of the Rimpa school, a style known for its decorative elegance and bold use of color, which you can see in the intricate, almost metallic patterns of the feathers. He didn't just paint nature; he stylized it, turning a simple bird into a graphic masterpiece that feels surprisingly modern despite being centuries old.
