Ogata Korin 尾形光琳
尾形光琳 Ogata Korin (1658-1716)
Japanese painter, lacquerer, and designer of the Rinpa school.
Ogata is best known for his byobu folding screens, such as Irises and Red and White Plum Blossoms (both registered National Treasures), and his paintings on ceramics and lacquerware produced by his brother Kenzan (1663~1743). Also a prolific designer, he worked with various decorative and practical objects, such as round fans, makie writing boxes or inrō medicine cases. He is also credited with reviving and consolidating the Rinpa school of Japanese painting, fifty years after its foundation by Hon'ami Koetsu (1558~1637) and Tawaraya Sotatsu (c. 1570 ~ c. 1640). In fact, the term "Rinpa", coined in the Meiji period, means "school of (Ko)rin". In particular, he had a lasting influence on Sakai Hoitsu (1761~1828), who replicated many of his paintings and popularized his work, organizing the first exhibition of Korin's paintings on the hundredth anniversary of his death.
