Born in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, 1948, Kyosuke Tchinai graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts with a post-graduate degree. 

From the early 1980s, he established an innovative painting style that challenges the conventional notion of the Japanese painting, while also pioneering a unique method of applying acrylic paint onto traditional Japanese paper. Tchinai has also mastered the conventional European image-making technique of using cross-hatching to portray classical Japanese subjects such as the four seasons in fantastical settings. Furthermore, he has helped revive traditional Japanese aesthetics by assimilating elements of art from the Edo period (1603-1868). 

For instance, his use of gold and platinum leaves to lavishly decorate his paintings was profoundly influenced by the Rimpa School of the 17th century.

Furisode (long-sleeved kimono) "Hanaranman" by Miki Fujita

With vivid peonies and chrysanthemums blooming in the waves of the Rimpa school, the more dynamic peonies were used to create the impression of a young day in vivid colors.

I added the yellow background to get the golden textures from the 'Rimpa School' art style of the ancient Japanese.

Mount Fuji Above Clouds, Kamisaka Sekka, early 20th century, Brooklyn Museum: Asian Art

The Japanese Rimpa tradition, exemplified in the exquisite works of the most recent adherent to the style, Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942), include a reiteration of classical subjects, like this image of the ubiquitous "Mount Fuji above Clouds." Sekka may be most well known for his luxuriant woodblock printed books (ehon). He was not only a prolific artist of paintings and screens, but also a designer of lacquerware, textiles and ceramics. The Rimpa school was centered in Kyoto, where Korin founded an atelier which catered to the tastes and commissions of the aristocracy, beginning with Koetsu and Sotatsu in the 17th century. Even after the Meiji restoration in 1868, the Rimpa tradition remained active. The end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century saw two artistic traditions of painting growing side and side, the Nihonga (Japanese style tradition) and Yoga (western influenced paintings), and this work demonstrates a mingling of the two approaches in a work of the pre-war era. The painting is executed in the tarashi-komi technique, the "puddling of ink" invention which is associated with Rimpa artists. Its diminutive format is intended for placement in a tea ceremony alcove. Size: Image: 44 1/2 x 7 1/4 in. (113 x 18.4 cm) Overall: 74 1/4 x 12 13/16 in. (188.6 x 32.5 cm) Medium: Hanging scroll, Color on silk

Born in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, 1948, Kyosuke Tchinai graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts.

Since the early 1980s, Tchinai has established an innovative painting style which challenges the conventional notion of the Japanese painting. Tchinai pioneered the method of applying the recently developed Western painting material of acrylic paint onto the traditional Japanese supporting medium washi (Japanese paper). Tchinai also uses the European image-making technique of cross-hatching to portray classical Japanese subjects, such as the four seasons in fantastical settings.

Tchinai revives traditional Japanese aesthetics by assimilating elements of the art from the Edo period (1603-1868) into his artwork. For instance, Tchinai’s use of gold and platinum leaves to lavishly decorate his paintings was influenced by the Rimpa School of the seventeenth century.

Ogata Korin, Flowering Plants in Autumn Creator, Edo period (18th century), 1541 x 1730 cm, pair of bi-fold screens, Suntory Museum of Art, Tokyo. 

   “Flowering plants in autumn are a familiar and emotionally evocative theme, often used in Japanese literature and art. In this pair of screens, autumn-blooming plants, including chrysanthemums, pampas grasses, bush clover, bellflowers, and fringed pinks, vie in their beauty. While reproducing the vivid freshness of nature, this screen also shows the quest for bold abstraction and decorative qualities characteristic of Rimpa-school screens.”

chrysanthemum

The chrysanthemum, or kiku, is a Japanese symbol that represents longevity and rejuvenation.

The Japanese word kiku translates to "chrysanthemum". The flower's name comes from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthos (flower).

The Japanese introduced the chrysanthemum from China in about the 8th century as medicine. They were so fond of the flower that they adopted it as the emperor's crest and official seal. Every year, Japan has a National Chrysanthemum Day, also known as the Festival of Happiness.

The ancient Japanese have also used this flower across many tapestries that they've made and as a result, have also developed their own unique art style connected to Chrysanthemums. This art style on the tapestries was called "The Rimpa School" and it uses gold leaf backgrounds, gold flake clouds, and beautifully draped chrysanthemums. In Chinese culture, they are offered to elders as a symbol of longevity and good luck.

Since Chrysanthemums have a rich history of being a symbol of longevity, I decided to use these flowers as the main visual of the tapestry, and I will also try to incorporate hints of the 'The Rimpa School' style into the tapestry design.

Sumie class. Student'work. 水墨画クラスから 生徒さん作品 こちらは、狩野山楽の虎の屏風絵から題材をとって、琳派の水墨画法になおしてお稽古したものです。 Text was picked up from Sanraku Kano(The founder of Kanou school)'s tiger painting on folding screen. Added essence and techniques from Rimpa art. 虎の目線の右上に、日頃、私が見たいと思っている何かが感じられます。左下方向に歩く虎の動きが、その何かの存在を際立たせるかのようです。 水墨画の面白みに溢れた��作です。 On the right corner where the tiger is looking up, we see something we've been looking for. The direction towards on the tiger is moving emphasis that something. Recalls something we can not tell from our mind. An admirable inkpainting work, this could be said. #2022 #水墨画 #狩野派 #Kanou #山楽 #Sanraku #rimpaart #rimpa #art #hoitsu #sumie #inkpainting #寅歳 #琳派アート #お正月 (Tokyo Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWqTUzQptaI/?utm_medium=tumblr
