Autumn Flowers by Kamisaka Sekka Canvas Print

Yes, Kamisaka Sekka knew how to charm a room and how to cut. Autumn Flowers (Aki no hana) brings a hush to the wall: a silver moon, a low thatched roof, and trailing white blossom against soft stone. Hang it where you want the room to slow down a bedroom above the headboard, a quiet corner of a study, the wall at the end of a hallway. It sits beautifully with pale oak, linen and bamboo, and lifts a chalky off-white or warm plaster wall. Keep the surroundings simple: a stoneware vase, a paper lantern, one trailing plant. Avoid crowding it with bright colour or busy pattern this piece works by giving the room room to breathe.
