	Tawaraya Sotatsu Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The few other references to Sotatsu suggest that he was part of a circle of influential Kyoto tea masters and esthetes and that he collaborated at various times with the famous calligrapher and lacquer artist Koetsu, who was related to him by marriage.
		Not only is Sotatsu's subject matter typically Japanese, but his style is too, for he used bright colors and gold leaf applied in flat areas, thus achieving abstract, decorative patterns of great beauty and sensitivity.
		Although Sotatsu's fame rests primarily on these screens and horizontal hand scrolls, he also painted numerous smaller pictures in the form of fans, album leaves, and hanging scrolls, some of the scrolls being in monochrome rather than color.

		The four Sotatsu school paintings in the exhibition were originally from a set of twelve mounted as a pair of six panel screens.
		Sotatsu was the proprietor of a shop in Kyoto called the Tawaraya, which is believed to have produced painted fans, lantern paper, shikishi (decorated square paper for paintings or calligraphy), and tanzaku (decorated paper strips).
		Sotatsu is regarded as the founder of the famous Rinpa style of decorative arts, although the genre is somewhat misleadingly named after a later master artist Korin (Rin-pa: school of Rin).

		It is generally accepted that Sotatsu‘s career started around the end of the sixteenth century when he began to work with Hon’ami Koetsu (1558-1637), his cousin by marriage.

		Sotatsu’s death is not recorded, but he is thought to have passed away around the year 1640.

	ASIA SOCIETY: THE COLLECTION IN CONTEXT
		The Rinpa ancestry is traced back to the painter and calligrapher Tawaraya Sotatsu (active 1600-1640) and Hon'ami Koetsu (1558-1637), best known for his calligraphy and pottery.
		Sotatsu, Koetsu, and Korin belonged to the machishu class of Kyoto society, wealthy, educated merchants who socialized with and catered to the Kyoto aristocracy, many of whom were impoverished.
		The interest in reviving early court culture that permeates the art of the Rinpa school is a reflection of the close cultural and personal ties between the machishu and the aristocracy.

		While this subject has several Chinese precedents in Sung and Yuan, colored paintings, Sotatsu painted these two grebes and two lotus flowers using only fl ink, which gives the work a clean, simple feeling.
		Still, the artist exquisitely expresses the contrast between the blooming, white lotus and its ripening fruit.
		Contrast is also created between the two birds, one of which swims ahead with a half-open, upturned bill as if in search of new bait, while the other quietly floats on.

		As you'll see from looking at old painting, and a lot of new painting too, there are words on the same surface.
		An artist would produce an image and the patron would take it to some poets and ask them to write something, so there might be half a dozen different hands responsible for the words.
		Artists would design backgrounds for calligraphers to work on (Sotatsu did this a great deal for Koetsu, for instance).

		By assimilating the classical iconography of these divinities and taking inspiration from the polychrome statues erected in the early 13th century in the sanctuary of the Renge-o-in, and more particularly from the lightning god in the illuminated scroll of Kitano-tenjin-engi, Sotatsu succeeds in reconciling energy of movement with a decorative effect.
		Both the Wind God and the Thunder God are originally subordinates to the Senju Kannon, and worshipped together with Kannon's 28 attendants.

		Sotatsu fece propri gli ideali classici dei periodi dell'arte giapponese Heian e Kamakura, così entusiasticamente propugnati da Koyetsu, con il quale egli diede vita a una scuola di pittura, scultura, calligrafia e arti minori di esplicita tendenza decorativa, quale fu in genere il carattere dell'arte dominante nel periodo Edo o Tokugawa.
