Multicolor Butterfly Mug by Kamisaka Sekka

This mug features a careful reproduction of a chromatic study depicting a flight of butterflies. The composition highlights the power of the line and the fluidity of bright color flats — orange, yellow, and blue — characteristic of Japanese decorative art.

Taken from the collection Chō senshu (One Thousand Varieties of Butterflies) published in 1903, this motif is the work of Kamisaka Sekka. A major figure of the Rimpa school, the artist here performs a modern stylization of the traditional naturalist theme.

Ideal for accompanying your daily coffee or tea breaks, this mug will delight lovers of Japanese aesthetics. It also makes a delicate gift idea to appreciate the elegance of this ancient illustration throughout the day.
