Four Prints from the Series ‘Flowers of a Hundred Worlds’

Kamisaka Sekka, 1909

The Rinpa School features stylized landscapes and motifs, with blocks of colour and in this instance without outlines. This style dates to the 17th century and was revived in a new form in the early 20th century. Sekka breathed new life into the movement. His designs profoundly influenced ceramics and lacquer in the 1900s to 1920s, especially in Kyoto.
