Rinpa is a modern term that refers to a distinctive style of Japanese pictorial and applied arts that arose in the early seventeenth century and has continued through modern times. Literally meaning ‘school of Korin,’ Rinpa derives its name from Ogata Korin (1658–1716), a celebrated painter from Kyoto. It embraces art marked by a bold, graphic abbreviation of natural motifs, frequent reference to traditional court literature and poetry, the lavish use of expensive mineral and metallic pigments, incorporation of calligraphy into painting compositions, and innovative experimentation with new brush techniques. Transmitted by means of pattern books and manuals, the work of the Ogata Korin inspired numerous other craftsmen.

OGATA GEKKO: SPARROW FEEDING ON CHERRY BLOSSOM OGATA GEKKO: SPARROW FEEDING ON CHERRY BLOSSOM By Ogata Gekko (1859-1920), signed Gekko with seal Japan, 19 th century, Meiji period (1868-1912) Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical shikishiban. Signed Gekko with seal. Title Sparrow Feeding on Cherry Blossom. A small sparrow slurping down the nectar from a cherry blossom. Image SIZE 24.2 x 25.1 cm, SIZE incl. frame 36.6 x 37.1 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Vivid impression and colors. Trimmed margins and some foxing. Mounted on a paper with tape to the top, behind a passepartout. Provenance: From an old private collection in England. Ogata Gekko was a Japanese artist best known as a painter and a designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. He was self-taught in art, won numerous national and international prizes, and was one of the earliest Japanese artists to win an international audience. Gekko was self-taught in art, and began decorating porcelain and rickshaws, and designing flyers for the pleasure quarters. His early style shows the influence of the painter Kikuchi Yosai. About 1881 he took the surname Ogata at the insistence of a descendant of the painter Ogata Korin. He soon was designing prints and illustrating books and newspapers. In 1885 Gekko exhibited in the Painting Appreciation Society, and he became acquainted with the art scholars Ernest Fenellosa and Okakura Kakuzo. The square shishikiban format appears to have been a favourite of Gekko's. Over 60 prints appear in his oeuvre in this size. Museum comparison: A closely related print, with similar seals, is in the collection of the Edo-Tokyo Museum, document number 88004209.
