About This Artwork

Cut reed and bamboo stalks stage a diagonal crossing through this Shin Bijutsukai pattern print, wrapped around your phone in pale cream and emerald green against a black field. The stalks splintering into jagged, blade-like segments that read less like still botanical specimens and more like a woodcut record of wind moving through a stand of cane.

Small clusters of white blossom rise between the crossing lines, their yellow-gold centers catching what little warmth breaks through the dark ground. In the pattern-book design tradition of Meiji Japan, bamboo carried an established symbolic charge for bending without breaking, a reading this composition earns through the stalks' own crossed, angular lines.

Mid-green foliage threads beneath the reed work, softening the sharper cuts of the stalks. What holds the eye is the crossing itself, tan lines laid over black with the patient, hand-cut precision of traditional Japanese textile design, each cut edge holding its own weight within the pattern's grain.

Origin Story

Shin-Bijutsukai (1902–1906) was a Kyoto design periodical that turned the pattern book into fine art. Published by Unsōdō and edited by Furuya Kōrin, with Kamisaka Sekka's guiding hand, it descended from the woodblock hinagata-bon tradition of the 1660s while absorbing Art Nouveau and Japonisme brought home by artists studying abroad. Rinpa lineage runs through its pages — Kōrin styled himself heir to Ogata Kōrin — yet the designs feel startlingly modern: pastel forms beneath crackled surfaces, cellular frames cradling botanical motifs, canopies dissolving into wine-dark washes.

Printed in yamatotoji binding across more than thirty volumes, the magazine gathered contributions from era-defining artists and now survives in the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan Museum, and the University of Pennsylvania's Tress Collection — a Meiji-era bridge between craft and Western-inflected modernism.
