Morning Glories by Kamisaka Sekka Canvas Print

Morning Glories by Kamisaka Sekka Canvas PrintYes, Kamisaka Sekka knew how to charm a room and how to cut. This is his Morning Glories (Asagao), a botanical study in deep blue, soft green and warm grey, set against a cream ground. It quiets a busy wall and gives a calm room something to look at. Hang it in a bedroom above a low headboard, in a study above a writing desk, or along a hallway between doors. It pairs with pale oak, linen and stoneware, and looks especially good on a chalky off white

A coastal golf course stretches out under a soft blue sky

Hang it where you want a lift: a kitchen wall above the kettle

and a single warm lamp

or on a kitchen feature wall where the yellows can play off pale cabinets

It's happiest in the kitchen

The whole room reads as more deliberate the moment it goes up — a single confident piece doing the work of three smaller ones

the pattern behind gives you the colour and the depth

busy florals on cushions or curtains

on the landing

It earns a quiet wall — above a sideboard

Unlike most botanical bird art

and it lifts a quiet kitchen wall without trying too hard
