This collection is by Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942), Images such as these cemented his reputation as one of the greatest artists in the history of Japanese art. Sekka was intrigued by westerners' integration of Japanese art styles into art and went to Glasgow to determine the elements of Japanese design most attractive to Western eyes. He returned to Japan to teach at the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts.
Sekka was a master of the Rimpa school of painting, which examines simple natural subjects such as birds, plants and flowers. Rimpa dates from the 17th century and uses mica, gold and silver leaf, to give a shimmering, elusive quality which is its hallmark.
We are offering a collection of prints from a later edition of "A Thousand Butterflies" in 1903. The images show exotic butterflies in flight.
