Mug illustrated with three red, blue and yellow butterflies by Kamisaka Sekka

This ceramic mug features a reproduction of an illustration from the collection Chō senshu by Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka. The composition brings together three stylized butterflies in vivid shades of red, blue and yellow, accented by calligraphic characters. This naturalist plate favors a strong chromatic study and great purity of line.

Published in 1903, this work is part of the Rinpa movement. Kamisaka Sekka combines the observation of nature with the synthesis of forms, linking traditional Japanese printmaking with the foundations of modern graphic design.

Designed for daily use for coffee or tea, this mug accompanies break times at the office or at home. A refined object to gift to lovers of Japanese art and scientific illustration.
