SUMMARY
ARTIST
Rinpa School
A school founded by Tawaraya Sotatsu, who was active from the Momoyama to the early Edo period. In the middle of the Edo period, Ogata Korin further developed Sotatsu’s style, perfecting it in its ability to show decorative beauty all the more clearly. Passed down to Sakai Hoitsu and his student Suzuki Kiitsu in the late Edo period, it later came to be known as the Rimpa school. Sakai Hoitsu admired Korin’s style, and left behind decorative work filled with poetic sentiment. The scope of the Rimpa school’s impact is broad, as it pursued and developed its gorgeous and decorative beauty and came to occupy an important position in the history of early modern period painting.
