Summer at Miho Peninsula Canvas Print

Open the curtains at late afternoon; the deep blue will handle the drama. A vintage Japanese railway poster from the 1930s brings a flash of orange and a cool, watery blue into a room that has been running quiet for too long. Hang it in a hallway, a study or above a sideboard in the living room, where the warm orange title characters can catch lamplight in the evening. It works beautifully with mid-century teak, rattan, cream linen and ceramics in deep blue or cream. Keep the wall around it calm chalky off-white, pale grey or soft sand and resist crowding it with other busy posters. One confident piece is enough.
