Ogata Kōrin

A hanging scroll of a gnarled flowering plum — the signature Rinpa subject, picked up from Sōtatsu and passed down to Hōitsu. Kōrin abstracted the tree to its flowering gesture.

A two-panel folding screen of waves rendered in flat curving dark and silver — decades before Hokusai, Kōrin had stylized the ocean to a pattern of interlocked spiral claws.

A folding screen of chrysanthemums leaning over a meandering silver stream — Kōrin's signature tarashikomi wash and gold-leaf ground in one of his late masterworks.

A pair of folding screens: two plum trees, red and white, lean toward a stylized silver river of whorls. Rinpa-school decorative painting at its most distilled.
