| The Edo period is a continuation of the the Azuchi-Momoyama period. During the early Edo period, many of the previous trends in painting continued to be popular. In the early Edo period was the Rimpa school, which used classical themes, but presented them in a bold, and lavishly decorative format. Sōtatsu in particular evolved a decorative style by re-creating themes from classical literature, using brilliantly colored figures and motifs from the natural world set against gold-leaf backgrounds. A century later, Korin reworked Sōtatsu's style and created visually gorgeous and unique works. |

| For this project I have chosen for this painting because I was fascinated by the illustrations and the materials. I think that to illustrate with so much detail was difficult in that time. I like how the artists were inspired by the non-physical and used their imagination to make it come to live, visual on paper. They created something we can grasp.
