Square Dish with Spring Flowers

Style of Ogata Kenzan Japanese

Not on view

Kenzan’s major contribution to Kyoto pottery and Rinpa aesthetics was his invention of modes of decoration that drew on his education, paintings of the early 1600s, and illustrated books. The brightly colored, stylized patterns became identified with his workshop. He collaborated with his older brother, Ogata Kōrin (1658–1716), on ceramics featuring Kōrin’s simplified designs of flowers, plants, and figures on square dishes that recall the format of shikishi poem cards.
