DESCRIPTION:Rinpa is a modern term that refers to a distinctive style of Ja
 panese  pictorial and applied arts that arose in the early 17th century an
 d has  continued through modern times. Literally meaning &ldquo\;school of
  Korin\,&rdquo\;  Rinpa derives its name from Ogata Korin (1658&ndash\;171
 6)\, a celebrated  painter\, potter\, and lacquer designer from Kyoto. It 
 embraces art marked  by a bold\, graphic abbreviation of natural motifs\, 
 frequent reference  to traditional court literature and poetry\, the lavis
 h use of expensive  mineral and metallic pigments\, incorporation of calli
 graphy into  painting compositions\, and innovative experimentation with n
 ew brush  techniques. \n \n The Metropolitan Museum of Art will present an
  exhibition featuring some  75 brilliantly executed works of art created i
 n Japan by the  Rinpa-school artists. The exhibition will be held in two r
 otations\, the  first opening on May 26\, 2012\; the second on September 1
