"description": "These screens recall a painting style so closely identified with Ogata K\u014drin (1658\u20131716) that it is called Rinpa, or \u201cRin School,\u201d after the ideograph \u201crin\u201d in his name. The highly stylized background accentuates floral groupings that have been groomed so as to appear utterly artificial, like the synthetic arrangements available today. K\u014drin's genius derived in large measure from natural phenomena painstakingly observed and then manipulated to create compositions of startling refinement and sparkling isolation. This process may have grown out of K\u014drin's early immersion in the family textile business, a medium that encourages such dramatic distillations of form: the stream's gold-crested waves bring to mind traditional kimono robe designs of K\u014drin's era. Works with the signature seen on this painting, including a style name, or persona suggested to K\u014drin by his brother Kenzan (1663\u20131743), are sometimes considered to have been produced either in the last year of his life, when he was very ill, or after his death. In both scenarios, the lion\u2019s share of the work would have been done by studio assistants, but little is truly known of his studio practice. Given the regularity of the gold waves on the stream, and the tension in the arrangement of the chrysanthemums, it is also possible that the screens were made in emulation of K\u014drin's designs by a later artist.",
