Sakai Hōitsu

Sakai Hōitsu

▪ Japanese artist
original name  Sakai Tadanao  
born Aug. 1, 1761, Edo [now Tokyo], Japan
died Jan. 4, 1829, Edo

      Japanese painter and poet of the late Tokugawa period (1603–1867).

      The younger brother of a feudal lord, Sakai developed artistic talents in many directions. In 1797, giving poor health as the reason, he became a monk affiliated with the Nishihongan Temple and was raised to a high rank. In 1809, however, he retired to Negishi in Edo and led the life of a gifted dilettante. He studied painting with masters of various schools, but was particularly influenced by the decorative style of Ogata Kōrin, which he succeeded in reviving. He published Kōrin hyakuzu (“One Hundred Paintings of Kōrin”) and Ogata-ryū ryakuin-fu (“Album of Simplified Seals in the Ogata Style”) in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Kōrin's death. These works were instrumental in making Kōrin's art very influential posthumously. Apart from being a revivalist, Sakai became a very successful painter and haiku poet. The screen painting “Summer and Autumn Grasses” is his masterpiece.
