Created for collectors, it IS NOT A POSTER or mass produced print on low quality, inexpensive paper. Kamisaka Sekka (1866–1942) is considered to be one of Japan’s most significant artists, designers and art instructors of the first half of the 20th century. He led the revival of Rinpa, a style created in the seventeenth century—and was a progenitor of modern design in Japan, creating imaginative, innovative imagery. He cooperated with other artisans to apply his designs to ceramics, lacquerware, and textiles. The three-volume 'A world of things' (Momoyo-gusa) is generally recognized as marking the pinnacle of Sekka’s design career. Each volume contains 20 images appropriated from the established Rinpa repertoire, and inspired by Chinese/Japanese legend and folklore: irises, the Thunder god, plum blossoms, deer in autumnal settings, the moon behind waves, the maid of Ōhara and the Chrysanthemum boy, to name but a few. Sekka represents them as crisp, clear shapes defined by areas of opaque, brilliant aniline dyes that are captured from unconventional vantage points. In this way, he successfully re-enlivens these well-worn images and imbues them with a modern touch. The title 'Momoyo-gusa’ is taken from a poem by Nobuyuki (dates unknown), which is reproduced on the first page of volume one: At first, it was the beauty of the cherry blossoms. Now, as I grow older, the flowers of a hundred worlds (momoyogusa) leave seeds in my heart.Momoyo-gusa is a poetic name for the chrysanthemum, an autumnal flower. It is enlisted in the above verse as a contrastive note to the cherry blossoms of spring and in turn becomes a comparison of youth with old age.
