Rabbits - Kōno Bairei Meiji Era iPhone Case

$45USD

Kono Bairei's Black and White Rabbits iPhone case transforms a 19th-century masterpiece into a contemporary accessory, bridging Meiji-era aesthetics with modern technology. This sumi-e inspired artwork showcases Bairei's mastery of negative space and brush technique, rendering two lagomorphs in stark monochrome.

The ebony rabbit's elongated ears frame its alabaster companion, whose crimson eye pierces the composition with startling vibrancy. Bairei's economical brushstrokes capture the essence of leporine form, embodying the Japanese concept of yohaku-no-bi - the beauty of empty space. This fusion of traditional ukiyo-e sensibilities with minimalist design epitomizes the artistic revolution of the Meiji period, when Japan opened to Western influences.

The case not only protects your device but also serves as a portable gallery, showcasing the timeless appeal of Japanese nature studies and the enduring relevance of Bairei's artistic legacy in our digital age.

Artist Biography

Kōno Bairei, born in 1844 in Kyoto, was a Meiji-era artist who transformed traditional Japanese painting with his masterful depictions of birds and flowers. Blending Maruyama-Shijo traditions with elements of Western realism, Bairei's work brought fresh vitality to classic themes.

Bairei's renowned "Album of One Hundred Birds" was a celebrated masterpiece that drew admiration from both ornithologists and art enthusiasts. As a teacher, Bairei mentored future legends like Takeuchi Seihō, nurturing Kyoto's art scene.

His brushwork, a harmony of delicate petals and vibrant feathers, captured nature’s fleeting beauty, blending innovation with tradition in a way that endures today.
