Kamisaka Sekka: Inheriting the Timeless Rimpa Spirit
Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942) was a designer and painter active in Kyoto in a variety of fields, from textiles, ceramics and lacquering to interior decoration and landscaping. His model was the Rimpa school: transmitted intermittently during the Edo period (1603-1868) by Hon’ami Kōetsu, Tawaraya Sōtatsu, Ogata Kōrin and Sakai Hōitsu, it had influenced various fields of arts and crafts. In this exhibition, we trace the development of the aesthetic of Edo period Rimpa, which served as a model for Sekka, and introduce the diverse world of “modern Rimpa” Kamisaka Sekka, whose designs bring color to everyday life.
