Cypresses mid-19th century Ikeda Koson In this dramatic close-up of a single landscape element, Ikeda Koson renders a timeless moment in a grove of hinoki cypresses. He depicts an atmosphere of misty space and shifting light by skillfully varying ink tones from black to gray in the leaves of frond-like branchlets. Texture and form result from the application of wet ink over pale washes on the tree trunks. Koson, a pupil of the Rinpa revivalist Sakai Hitsu (1761-1828), brought a fresh vitality to standard themes in the Rinpa repertoire through his virtuoso brushwork and ability to convey naturalistic forms without sacrificing the bold decorative impact of his predecessors.. Cypresses. Ikeda Koson (Japanese, 1803-1868). Japan. mid-19th century. Two-panel folding screen; ink on paper. Edo period (1615-1868). Screens
