Original Description
Sakai Hoitsu’s The God of Longevity, a Crane, and Plum Trees (a Set of Three Scrolls) is a masterful example of Edo-period Rimpa school art, blending ethereal elegance with symbolic depth. Each scroll pulses with life: the God of Longevity (Jurojin) exudes serene wisdom, the crane embodies grace and immortality, while the gnarled plum branches, bursting with delicate blossoms, evoke resilience and renewal. Hoitsu’s signature tarashikomi technique—layering pooling inks—creates lush, rhythmic textures that seem to shimmer. As a Rimpa revivalist, Hoitsu reinterpreted Ogata Korin’s bold aesthetics with refined lyricism, elevating nature and mythology into poetic visual harmony. This triptych, now housed in prestigious collections like the Minneapolis Institute of Art, underscores Hoitsu’s pivotal role in bridging classical Japanese motifs with innovative abstraction, influencing later movements like Nihonga.
For interior styling, these scrolls command a contemplative yet striking presence. Ideal for a minimalist study or a serene office nook, their vertical format (typically ~60x130cm each) suits high walls or flanking a low console. Frame them in slender ebony or lacquered wood to echo the ink-wash richness, and pair with neutral tones—taupe, slate, or washi-paper beige—to let the gold-leaf accents glow. Offset their traditional charm with a single modern element, like a staggered display above a sleek wool sofa or beside a bonsai, reinforcing the nature theme. Lighting is key: soft, directional spots will amplify the tarashikomi textures, while avoiding clutter preserves their meditative quality. In open spaces, hang them as a trio with 10-15cm gaps to mirror the original scroll rhythm, transforming walls into living art.
