Rinpa artists eschewed Chinese painting styles, instead employing vibrantly colored ink washes arranged in decorative, abstract patterns that were inspired by native Japanese artistic traditions. The subjects depicted in these two paintings include Mount Fuji, the most famous and holiest site in Japan, and cherry blossoms, which are equally symbolic of the country. The juxtaposition of softly rendered areas of the<br>compositions with precisely drawn and colored elements, such as the blossoms, is a hallmark of Rinpa School painting. The liberal use of gold on both scrolls speaks to the expense of the paintings and to the elevated importance of the subjects.","remarks":"Asian Art Rotation Feb 2020"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"1995–2020 Gitter-Yelen Collection (New Orleans, LA), by gift and sold to the Princeton University art Museum, 2020. <br>","remarks":null}],"datebegin":1781,"sortnumber":"2020  389 a    b","published_date":"2026-02-11 14:33:38.687766","objectid":133930,"dimensions":"Painting (each): 81.6 × 26.6 cm (32 1/8 × 10 1/2 in.)\r\nMount (each): 162.6 × 44.4 cm (64 × 17 1/2 in.)","on_view":false}
