Chinese Bellflowers Follower of Ogata Kōrin Japanese This painted fan, formerly used but saved with loving care and remounted as a hanging scroll, depicts blue and white Chinese bellflowers, Japan's favorite autumnal blooms. Combined with pampas grass, Chinese bellflowers succinctly express the moment when late summer passes into autumn. Although the painting bears a seal reading "Hokkyō Kōrin" ("Kōrin, holding the rank of Hokkyō"), it lacks the spontaneity of the great genius of the Rinpa style and thus may be assigned to one of Kōrin's numerous followers..
