Mug featuring a stylized butterfly by Kamisaka Sekka

This mug features a careful reproduction of a Japanese print depicting a butterfly with spread wings. The chromatic study combines shades of beige, purple, and green, highlighting geometric patterns evoking the structure of parasols. This composition reveals all the elegance of Japanese graphic art in the treatment of natural forms.

The original illustration was designed by Kamisaka Sekka in 1903 for the collection Chō senshu. A major figure of the Rinpa movement, the artist here creates a synthesis between naturalist observation and decorative stylization. The rigor of the line and the harmony of the hues testify to the innovative spirit of Meiji era prints.

Practical for daily use with coffee or tea, this mug offers a moment of aesthetic contemplation during your breaks. It also makes a delicate gift for enthusiasts of antique prints and Japanese culture.
