Swallows and Butterflies by Taguchi Tomoki Canvas Print

Because Taguchi Tomoki knew restraint, the soft black ink hits harder here. Two swallows mid-flight, two butterflies, a column of brush-drawn characters and a lot of breathing room. Put it on a quiet wall and the room slows down. The off-white background reads as paper, not white, so it sits gently next to plaster walls, pale oak and warm neutrals rather than fighting them. Hangs well above a small writing desk, in a calm hallway, beside a bed, or in a reading corner. Pair with linen, stoneware, paper shades and one or two other quiet ink or botanical pieces. Skip it if your room is already busy with bold pattern or saturated colour this piece wants air around it.
