Kamisaka Sekka was a late [[Rinpa school]] artist of the [[Meiji period]], known both for his paintings and for his work in [[lacquerwares]] and other decorative art forms.
Born into a samurai family, the son of an imperial bodyguard, Kamisaka Sekka was originally trained in the [[Shijo school|Shijô school]] style of painting. He traveled to the Glasgow World's Exposition in [[1910]], where he was exposed to [[Art Nouveau]], and soon after his return to Japan, found a renewed interest in decorative arts & objects, and began working with laquerers, potters, and textile artists.
