Born into a samurai family, he was initially trained in various artistic styles, including KanÅ and Ukiyo-e, but he later devoted himself to the revival of the Rinpa style, originally founded by Ogata KÅrin. HÅitsu is best known for his elegant and refined works that often featured nature themes, such as flowers, birds, and seasonal landscapes. His masterpiece, "Summer and Autumn Grasses," exemplifies his skill in delicate brushwork and harmonious composition. HÅitsu's efforts significantly influenced subsequent generations of Rinpa artists, ensuring the legacy of the school's distinctive aesthetic.

Japanese Rinpa school. Edo period, attributed to SAKAI HOITSU (1761-1829). "Composition with flowers and birds". 5-panel folding screen.
Est: €7,000 - €8,000
Japanese Rinpa school. Edo period, attributed to SAKAI HOITSU (1761-1829). "Composition with flowers and birds". 5-panel folding screen. Colored ink and gold leaf on paper adhered to canvas. Size: 180,5 x 68 cm. each panel. Sakai Hoitsu was a Japanese artist who belonged to the Rinpa school. He is known for having promoted the style and popularity of Ogata Korin. His father was the feudal lord of Himeji Castle in Harima Province. Moving to Kyoto, Hoitsu began his art studies at the Kan school before moving on to study with Utagawa Toyoharu and the ukiyo-e style. He later studied with Watanabe Nangaku of the Maruyama school and with Shiseki of the nanga style, before finally becoming a painter of the Rinpa school. He became a Buddhist priest in 1797, and spent the last 21 years of his life in seclusion. During this time, he studied the work of Ogata Korin extensively, as well as that of his brother, Ogata Kenzan, and produced a series of reproductions of the brothers' works. He also produced two books of woodblock prints of the brothers' work, as well as a book of his own; these were entitled Korin Hyakuzu (1815), Kenzan Iboku Gafu (1823), and Oson Gafu, respectively. Hoitsu's style shows elements of ukiyo-e realism, but particularly resembles the decorative style of Ogata Korin. Rinpa is one of the most important schools of Japanese painting. It emerged in the 17th century with the artists Honami Koetsu (1558-1637) and Tawaraya Sotatsu (1643). Fifty years later, the style was consolidated as such through the brothers Ogata Korin and Kenzan. Hon'ami Koetsu founded an artistic community of craftsmen with the support of wealthy merchants, patrons of the Nichiren Buddhist sect in Takagamine, northeast of Kyoto, in 1615. Both the prosperous merchant elite as well as the old aristocratic families of Kyoto favored arts that followed classical traditions, and Koetsu complied by producing numerous works of ceramics, calligraphy and lacquerware. His collaborator, Tawaraya Sotatsu, maintained a workshop in Kyoto and produced commercial paintings such as decorative fans and screens. Sotatsu also specialized in making decorated paper with gold or silver backgrounds, to which Koetsu helped by adding calligraphy. The Rinpa school came to prominence again during the Genroku era (1688-1704) thanks to Ogata Korin and his younger brother ?gata Kenzan, sons of a prosperous Kyoto textile merchant. Other prominent artists were Sakai Hoitsu and Suzuki Kiitsu. Artists of the Rinpa school worked in various formats, notably folding screens, hanging fans and scrolls, woodblock printed books, lacquerware, ceramics and kimonos. Many Rinpa paintings were used on doors and sliding walls (fusuma) of noble houses. The subject matter and style were often borrowed from the Heian period traditions of yamato-e, with elements of Muromachi ink paintings, flower and bird paintings from the Chinese Ming dynasty, as well as developments from the Kano school of the Momoyama period. Standard stereotypical painting in the Rinpa style involves simple natural subjects such as birds, plants and flowers, with the background filled with gold leaf. The emphasis on refined design and technique became more pronounced as the Rinpa style developed.

SAKAI HOITSU (1761 – 1828): SPRING AND AUTUMN FLOWERS
Est: €3,500 - €7,000
Two rolls, ink and colors on silk. Japan, about 1800 The left-hand role shows the resplendent white blossom of a flowering peony, masterfully executed in its plasticity, its noble radiance as well as the multiple, lively shadows of its foliage. Beneath the large peony is a smaller, still-closed, red blossom. In the lower left-hand corner is the signature HO-ITSU fude 抱一筆 , as well as the red seal O-SON 鶯村, one of his artist’s names (literally “nightingale village”), within a bat-shaped field. The role on the right shows a less opulent, but finely composed and spread-out composition of stalks, red-colored leaves and, at the very bottom, small blossoms, presumably a kind of asters. A titmouse, its feathers grayish black and its head capped yellow, holds onto a reed. In the bottom right-hand corner is the same signature as described above. Hoitsu was a painter from the Rinpa school, who belonged to a princely house and became a Buddhist priest. It was only then that the dedicated himself fully to painting and studying diverse styles. An admirer of Ogata, he also wrote poetry and produced calligraphy, etc. His decorative paintings are well-known for their sense for details. Condition report: Recently mounted with a silk border, lacquer rollers, painting in very good condition.
