Rimpa, is one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting. It was created in 17th century Kyoto by Hon'ami Koetsu (1558-1637) and Tawaraya Sotatsu (d. c.1643). Roughly fifty years later, the style was consolidated by brothers Ogata Korin and Ogata Kenzan.

The term Rimpa itself is an amalgamation of the last syllable from “Korin” with the word for school, coined in the Meiji period. Previously, the style was referred to variously as the Koetsu school, or K?etsu-K?rin school, or the Sotatsu-Korin school.
