Nonomiya by Kamisaka Sekka Art PrintAfter the late afternoon light shifts, the study suddenly has a pulse. Kamisaka Sekka's quiet Noh figure stands very still against a soft cream ground, with gold autumn grasses scattered across a long robe and a deep red skirt grounding the whole piece. The mood is hushed and careful a room that already feels considered will feel a little more so. Hangs well above a low console, a writing desk, or a sideboard at eye level. Pair with pale oak, walnut,

dressing room or hallway

lemon trees in the square

lighter mood — even on grey mornings

at eye level above a console or sideboard

work or eat — somewhere it gets looked at

with leaves pulled tight around it in true Arts and Crafts fashion

woodwork looks richer

The piece pulls a striped moka pot into soft pink

the gold lines do the heavy lifting

Put it up and the room gets a small dose of nerve

It gives a flat-painted room something to push against

Linen cushions in cream or soft pink work well underneath
