研究報告

Although biological time runs in cycles and physical time moves forward at a constant rate, time never runs in reverse. Plants flower according to seasonal rhythms that symbolize the passage of biological time, which is one of the most popular themes in Japanese art, especially the Rimpa school of painting. Rimpa is a school formed through mutual relationships between artists whose works share the common thread of ten-kei-ka. In a similar manner to DNA, ten-kei-ka forms the basic framework that characterizes Rimpa. Therefore, Rimpa works can be compared to plants from the same botanical family, in that, while they may be different in their outward appearance, they share identical key features. This may lead us to view Rimpa works as lacking originality. However, the subtle distinction is a fleeting moment in the broad scope of biological time. The act of producing a new work of Rimpa is like the blossoming of a flower; it is a sign that it is alive in response to the season. In the latter half of the 20th century, Ikko Tanaka (1930–2002) made posters, such as Botanical Gardens of Graphic Arts, as an artist of Rimpa, sustaining the theme of biological time. Ikko Tanaka’s viewpoint as a Rimpa artist in expressing the Japanese perspective has its origin in biological time.
