Japanese Butterfly Mug by Kamisaka Sekka

This white ceramic mug features a careful reproduction of a naturalist plate depicting butterflies in shades of yellow and orange. Taken from an iconic composition, the design captivates with the elegance of its lines, the visual hierarchy of the forms, and the harmony of the Japanese calligraphy bordering the specimens.

Drawn by Kamisaka Sekka in 1903 for the collection Chō senshu, this chromatic study is fully rooted in the Rinpa art movement. The artist brilliantly combines entomological observation with the aesthetic tradition of Kyoto, offering a precious testimony to early 20th-century Japanese decorative arts.

Ideal for accompanying your daily coffee or tea breaks, this mug brings an artistic and poetic touch to your desk or kitchen. It also makes a wonderful gift idea for enthusiasts of Japanese art and nature.
