Autumnal Butterfly Illustrated Mug by Kamisaka Sekka

This mug is adorned with a reproduction of a chromatic butterfly study by the Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka. The composition highlights the graphic structure of the insects, where the geometric patterns of the wings in shades of ocher and brown harmonize with traditional vertical calligraphy.

Published in 1903 in the work Chō senshu, this plate reflects the Rinpa art movement. The author combines meticulous naturalist observation with elegant ornamental stylization, utilizing flat color areas to capture the aesthetics of Japanese nature.

Designed for daily use with coffee or tea, this mug brings an artistic dimension to your breaks at home or in the office. It also makes a refined gift for lovers of antique prints.
