Ceramic Mug Illustrated with Yellow and Orange Butterflies, after Kamisaka Sekka

This ceramic mug is adorned with a print reproduction featuring stylized butterflies in shades of yellow and orange, accompanied by black calligraphic characters. Inspired by a work by Kamisaka Sekka, this composition stands out for its vibrant chromatic study and the fluid forms characteristic of the Rinpa school.

A master of Japanese decorative art in the early 20th century, Kamisaka Sekka was part of the Meiji era revival. This illustration demonstrates his ability to transform the observation of nature into a sober ornamental motif, where Japanese tradition meets a modern graphic aesthetic.

Designed to accompany your coffee or tea breaks, this illustrated mug brings a touch of Japanese art to your daily life. It is also an excellent gift idea for lovers of antique prints and botanical motifs.
