Tokyo Postage Stamp Collection Canvas Print

Back in the 1960s, this kind of illustrated souvenir stamp belonged to another kind of home pinned in scrapbooks and travel diaries by anyone who had been, or dreamed of going, to Tokyo. Four little scenes: the Skytree, a pagoda, a torii gate and a smiling lucky cat, all set against a starry night sky. Hang it in a kid’s room, a study or a hallway that could do with a bit of joy. It brings out soft pinks, teals and warm purples in cushions, rugs and painted furniture. Keep the surroundings simple pale wood, plain walls, a few ceramic pieces and let the stamps do the talking. Not one for very grown-up, minimal rooms.
