Born in Kyoto in 1866, his artistic journey flourished after a trip to the Paris International Exposition in 1901, where he merged European industrial design with traditional Rinpa aesthetics. Known for bold colors, flat compositions, and natural elements like mica, Sekka's work transcended boundaries across painting, printmaking, ceramics, and lacquerware.
