"Rabbits under the Moon, Peonies, and Hollyhocks" is a 19th century Japanese screen painting by Ogata Kōrin, a leading artist of the Rinpa school. The work, now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a single hollyhock plant rendered in black and white ink on a pale ground, showcasing Kōrin's signature decorative style and use of asymmetrical balance. The painting exemplifies the Rinpa school's emphasis on natural motifs and the application of bold, decorative lines and washes, making it a testament to Japanese decorative arts.
