KORIN, OGATA (c. 1657-1716)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 913 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KORIN, OGATA (c. 1657-1716) , Japanese painter and lac-
querer, was born at KOtO, the son of a wealthy merchant who had a
taste
  for the arts and is said to have given his son some elementary instruction therein. Korin also studied under Soken Yamamoto, Kano, Tsunenobu and Gukei Sumiyoshi; and he was greatly influenced by his predecessors Koyetsu and SOtatsu. On arriving at maturity, however, he broke away from all tradition, and developed a very
original
  and quite distinctive style of his own, both in
painting
  and in the decoration of lacquer. The characteristic of this is a bold.
impressionism
 , which is expressed in few and simple highly idealized forms, with an
absolute
  disregard either of
realism
  or of the usual conventions. In lacquer KOrin's use of
white
  metals and of
mother
 -of-pearl is notable; but herein he followed Koyetsu. Korin died on the 2nd of June 1716, at the age of fifty-nine. His
chief
  pupils were Kagei Tatebashi and Shiko Watanable; but the present knowledge and appreciation of his
work
  are largely due to the efforts of HOitsu Sakai, who brought about a revival of Korin's style.
