Narumi by Hiroshige Canvas Print

Narumi by Hiroshige Canvas PrintBecause Hiroshige knew restraint, the warm cream sky hits harder here. The dusk does the heavy lifting figures in straw hats, blue shop curtains and a pine covered hill all settle into the same calm light. Put it in a living room or study where the walls are already quiet: chalky off white, oat, soft grey or warm plaster. It works above a low sideboard, a reading chair or a writing desk, hung at eye level. Pair with oak or walnut timber, linen, rattan

fluted glassware

and the whole scene leans gentle rather than loud

too much pale wood

anywhere with a fire on in the evening

Sit it above a cream linen bed

and the cream sky stops it feeling heavy

wake a quiet hallway

ruffled skirts

Avoid hanging her in a busy

Put him on the wall and the room gains a small joke

The canvas softens the linework and feels relaxed on a plain wall

almost like a painted scene on the wall
