The Kōrin Karuta Collection

On a quiet Saturday afternoon, the first in a long time, I caught up on some reading and continued to read through my book about the Hyakunin Isshu, mentioned here: the Hyakunin Isshu Daijiten (Amazon JP link here). In one chapter, the book discussed a special artistic collection of the Hyakunin Isshu called the Kōrin Karuta collection (kōrin karuta, 光琳カルタ) which was painted by the famous artist…

Fūgai Ekun, Hotei Pointing at the Moon, 1650, Edo period (1615–1868), hanging scroll, ink on paper, 32.9 × 43.7 cm, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

“The portly monk Hotei is shown hoisting his satchel over his shoulder while he points a finger at the sky above, toward an unseen moon. The abbreviated brushwork and suggestive use of blank space were earlier associated with Zen monk painters of medieval times. The Zen monk Fūgai Ekun of the Sōtō sect followed in this tradition, and often inscribed his paintings in a highly cursive script. The inscription reads:

生涯不貧、大福無隣、指月看月、途中老賓, Shōgai hin narazu/ daifuku rin nashi/ tsuki o sashi tsuki o miru/ tochū no rōhin

Throughout my life, I haven’t been poor Nor have lived amid wealth. Pointing at the moon, looking at the moon, I’m just an old traveler along the way. — trans. John T. Carpenter.”

Ogata Kōrin, Hotei, after 1704, Edo period (1615–1868), hanging scroll, ink on paper, 28.5 × 36.8 cm, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

“Hotei (Chinese: Budai) is one of the most beloved characters of Zen Buddhism and is believed to be an avatar of Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future. Potbellied with a shaven head, this cheerful, blissful monk is said to have roamed the countryside in the late ninth to early tenth century in the area of Mount Siming, in southern China, carrying his few belongings in a patched cloth bag.

Hotei was probably first portrayed in painting soon after his death and later entered the folklore of China and Japan as one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune (Shichi fukujin). In his ink paintings of august East Asian mythological and historical personages, Ogata Kōrin often portrayed the seven gods in a more playful aspect, as seen here.”

Weekend treat: for an annual event at Nezu Museum in spring!

28/4/2023

An instructor of a course in Japanese Art talked about an annual event at Nezu Museum in spring, and it is "Irises（screen）" by Korin Ogata exhibition. Then, I was being so curious about it that I was off to this art gallery in Minami-Aoyama all the way after school.

This is known for its entrance as beautiful architecture designed by Kengo Kuma and in a lot of magazines, I remembered. Therefore, I was delighted to see it. Yet, the place appeared to be too exclusive for me, and I found elderly people being formal in their attire but living within a kilometer suitable for it. I was being a little out of place.

Having said that, I immersed myself in the exhibits/collections of the gallery, knew of Otsu-e, a folk art in 17th century in Shiga, and had fun strolling the Buddhism themed garden. I want to take my parents there one day.
