Waves at Matsushima (Left), Tawaraya Sotatsu Bath Towel

Tawaraya Sōtatsu was a Japanese painter and designer of the Rinpa school. Sōtatsu is best known for his decorations of calligraphic works by his partner Hon'ami Kōetsu (1558–1637), and his spectacular and highly influential byōbu folding screens, such as National Treasures Wind God and Thunder God and his painting of the Sekiya and Miotsukushi chapters from The Tale of Genji. He also popularised a technique called tarashikomi, in which a second layer of paint is applied before the first layer is dry. Quote:Wikipedia
