This understated painting of morning glories in various stages of bloom shows a fluent use of Rinpa idioms, such as the mottled-ink (tarashikomi) technique seen in the leaves. Also characteristic of the Rinpa aesthetic is the elegantly spacious arrangement of the morning-glory vine within the horizontal composition. Signed “Hyakurinsai Sōri” and accompanied by a seal reading “Genchi,” of the circular type used by Sōtatsu and Kōrin, this is a Rinpa-style work by an Edo painter who has in the past been mistakenly identified with Hokusai.
