Willow and Cherry by Kamisaka Sekka Art Print

Willow and Cherry by Kamisaka Sekka Art PrintRooms go quieter when soft green is this sure of itself. Sekka's willow trails across the wall in long, calligraphic strands, with small white cherry blossoms scattered through it like punctuation. Hang it and the wall stops feeling like a wall it starts feeling like a window onto a still garden. The cream background does most of the heavy lifting, so the room around it can stay simple. Best above a bed, a low sideboard or a reading chair, on a chalky

A worn leather armchair underneath is no bad thing

soft yellow and coral into the room without shouting

A small stoneware vase nearby never hurts

and it changes how a room reads the moment it goes up

with its pale butterfly centred on a tapestry of leaves and wild roses

This print is the loudest voice in the room — let it speak

a stem in a vase

The deep purple cluster and dusty pink background do the heavy lifting — colour

and busy neighbours will drown it out

this print wants room to talk

calms the chatter on the wall

Pair with warm oak
