Ikeda Koson was born in the Japanese Echigo Province (known today as Niigata Prefecture) in 1801. Little is known of Koson’s early life, but he showed an aptitude for painting and moved to Edo in his twenties to study under Sakai Hōitsu (1761-1828). He created a series of paintings in 1830 that are closely related to a set by Hoitsu depicting court festivals (gosekku), that were adapted from Chinese practices and celebrated in Japan since the Nara period. According to researchers for the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, Koson “brought a fresh vitality to standard themes in the Rinpa repertoire through his virtuoso brushwork and ability to convey naturalistic forms without sacrificing the bold decorative impact of his predecessors.” Because he focused on gosekku and hanging scroll art rather than exploring the increasingly popular ukiyo-e woodblock printing trends, his work is less common today than many of his contemporaries, although their quality sets him apart from many others working in the period and he is considered one of the most important revivalists of the Rinpa tradition. Late in life he became a recluse, known for his eccentricities and being an ardent aficionado of the tea ceremony. He passed away in 1866, and his works are found in museums around the world, particularly his larger tapestries and multi-part scrolls.
