EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is a stunning example of the artistic innovation that emerged during Japan's Meiji Era (1868-1912). Created by the renowned artist Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942), this color woodcut print is part of the prestigious collection "Shin bijutsukai" (New Art Society), published between 1901 and 1902. Sekka, born as Kamisaka Hokutei, was a leading figure in the modern Japanese art scene, bridging the gap between traditional ukiyo-e and Western influences. In this illustration, we see his mastery of both styles, as he incorporates intricate, decorative patterns reminiscent of the ukiyo-e tradition with a vibrant, modern color palette. The subject of the print is not immediately clear, but its abstract, geometric design and dynamic composition evoke a sense of energy and movement. The title "Furuya Korin" is inscribed in the lower right corner, though its significance remains uncertain. Some scholars suggest it may be a reference to the famous Chinese painter and calligrapher Korin Ogata (1658-1716), known for his distinctive use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and innovative compositions. This exquisite print is a testament to Sekka's artistic vision and his role in shaping the direction of modern Japanese art. Its intricate details and rich colors continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or graphic design.
