Ogata Korin was born in Kyoto Japan and has studied under many prestigious artists. He is known for having a very unique style in his painting and in the decoration of lacquer. He is known for his bold impressionism, which is expressed in simple highly idealized forms. His disregard for naturalism keeps his viewers interested in the work that he creates. For instance, Korin's use of white metals and of mother-of-pearl is one thing that makes him memorable. Before he passed away at the age of 59, Ogata Korin solidified his type of work by being recognized in many museums by his gold foil folding screens.
