Description

Edo Rimpa$dkachō fūgetsu o mederu$hMiyazaki Momo is a comprehensive exploration of the elegant paintings of birds and flowers in Edo-Rinpa style. This genre of Japanese painting emerged in the 17th century and was revived in the 19th century by Hoitsu Sakai, who brought a poetic and refined taste to the art form. The book showcases a range of works, from the most popular examples of Edo-Rinpa to innovative pieces by lesser-known artists, such as Kiitsu Suzuki, a disciple of Hoitsu Sakai. It also highlights the influence of Rinpa style on modern painters, including Shunso Hishida and Sekka Kamisaka. Written by Momo Miyazaki, a specialist in Edo period painting and curator of The Museum Yamato Bunkakan, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Japanese art.
