*''Born: [[1761]]''
*''Died: [[1828]]''
*''Japanese'': [[酒井]]抱一 ''(Sakai Houitsu)''
Sakai Hôitsu was an [[Edo]]-based painter often considered one of the last masters of the [[Rinpa]] style.
He was born into a samurai family, and began his artistic career painting ''[[bijinga]]'' in the ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' style, but later switched to producing works more purely in the Rinpa mode. His family had been patrons of [[Ogata Korin|Ogata Kôrin]] ([[1658]]-[[1716]]) during Kôrin's life, and owned a number of his works, which Hôitsu then took as inspiration or models. In [[1815]], Hôitsu organized an exhibition of Kôrin's works, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Kôrin's death, and also had published a book entitled ''Kôrin hyakuzu'' ("One Hundred Pictures by Kôrin").
Among students of Hôitsu, [[Suzuki Kiitsu]] is perhaps the most famous today.
