Japanese prints in a modern interior
Ukiyo-e, the art of Japanese woodblock prints, fascinated the Impressionists and inspired Art Nouveau. Its flat colours, clean lines and generous empty space make it easy to live with: it calms a busy living room, gives structure to a study and suits bedrooms.
Formats are often very tall, like hanging scrolls, or panoramic, like the gilded screens of Tosa Mitsuyoshi or Ogata Kōrin. A panoramic work above a low sofa or a banquette feels like a mural; a tall vertical dresses a narrow stretch of wall.
These reproductions come from public-domain works held by major museums, credited on each page. Our house designs, cranes on gold leaf or koi carp, carry the same spirit in a contemporary palette.
Frequently asked questions
Where should a Japanese print hang?
In calm rooms: a bedroom, a study, a reading corner. The Great Wave or Red Fuji, in landscape format, sit well above a sofa or a bed.
Are the prints originals?
No, they are reproductions printed to order from public-domain works. The artist, the date and the museum holding the original are given on each page.
Which finish for Japanese art?
On stretched canvas, the print keeps the finesse of its line, and a classic black wooden frame gives it a sober look. Canvas also suits large formats.
