Ogata Kōrin (1658 – 1716)
Explore the world of Ogata Kōrin (1658-1716), a master of the Rinpa school! Discover his iconic screens like 'Irises' & vibrant depictions of nature, plum blossoms, and more. A key figure in Japanese art history.
On the right-hand panel, white plum blossoms, a harbinger of spring, stand out against fine-grained wood and the stark branches of a leafless tree. The companion panel features flowers and grasses of late summer and early autumn: morning glories, pampas grasses, white and blue bellflowers, and exuberant white, pink, and red chrysanthemums. Flowers of Spring and Autumn combines the highly stylized renditions of natural elements for which Kōrin became famous and the ink painting in the Chinese style that was the foundation of his artistic training.The signature “Hokkyō Kōrin” appears in the right-hand panel’s lower right corner, and both panels bear the artist’s distinctive round seal reading “Koresuke.” The brushwork and signature style suggest that this diptych dates to just after Kōrin was granted the honorific title Hokkyō (Bridge of the Law).
