Description of Exhibition
A set of Ogura hyakunin isshu (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each) karuta playing cards hand-painted by the renowned Rinpa artist Ogata Kōrin (1658–1716) has been newly entrusted to the Kyoto National Museum. This exhibition showcases the rare set, popularly known as the “Kōrin Karuta,” alongside related sketches and other Kōrin materials from the Konishi Family Archives, now in the museum’s collection. Together, these works reveal the foundational elements of Kōrin’s artistry, highlighting the importance of these archival materials.
