Hotei by Kamisaka Sekka Canvas PrintOn a late afternoon, the warm cream paper looks almost illegally fresh. Hotei sits with a soft smile, his dark robe pooling in loose ink, beside a quiet white shape that could be a sack or a sleeping companion. When this goes up, a room slows down.

with deep green leaves swinging behind them

This poster brings warm pink

scribbled lines tying it all together

saturated colour — both will fight the softness here
