Description

A serene dance of wings graces this iPhone case, featuring Kamisaka Sekka's butterflies, a rainbow marvel from Chō senshu, his magnum opus. A visual compendium of butterflies born from the Rimpa School tradition. 

In this piece of Chō senshu, a kaleidoscope of butterflies drifts weightlessly. Set against a delicate, parchment-like backdrop. Their flight suspended between stillness and motion. Each wing is a canvas of intricate geometry, painted in harmonious tones of verdant greens, cerulean blues, earthy browns, and soft lavender.

Sekka’s minimalist precision transforms these creatures into symbols of metamorphosis and fleeting beauty, echoing Japanese aesthetics where nature and spirit intertwine. The balance of vivid pigments and muted hues evokes timeless elegance, while the crisp, flowing lines nod to traditional mokuhanga woodblock techniques, modernized with an Art Nouveau grace.

This design isn’t merely decorative; it bridges eras, embodying Japan's Meiji-era modernity and centuries-old Rimpa heritage, a fluttering ode to life's ephemeral harmony.

About the Artist

Kamisaka Sekka, born in 1866 in Kyoto, was the visionary who revived the Rinpa school, blending traditional Japanese motifs with bold, modern design. His art transcended mere decoration, capturing the essence of nature with a vibrant, almost ethereal touch.

Sekka honored the legacy of Rinpa masters like Ogata Kōrin, while daring to innovate—his works were a dynamic mix of reverence and rebellion. His colors were bold, his patterns intricate, each piece a dance between tradition and modernity.

Sekka’s influence, from textiles to ceramics, reshaped Japanese culture, embodying a timeless balance between innovation and the beauty of tradition.
