Japanese Butterfly Mug After Kamisaka Sekka

This mug features a reproduction of an illustration from the Japanese artistic heritage. The design showcases a refined chromatic study of vividly shaded butterflies, accompanied by traditional calligraphy. The strength of the composition relies on the balance of flat areas of color and the sharpness of the line, characteristic of woodblock prints.

The original image was created by Kamisaka Sekka, master of the revival of the Rinpa style at the beginning of the 20th century. Published in 1903 in the work Chō senshu, this plate bears witness to a perfect alliance between naturalist observation and modern aesthetic research.

Perfect for enjoying your daily coffee or tea, this mug brings an elegant touch to your desk or kitchen. It is also an ideal gift for enthusiasts of Japanese art and vintage illustrations.
