Welcome to our captivating collection of Japanese wall art, featuring a stunning range of Japanese-inspired art as well as Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. A Ukiyo-e print is a traditional Japanese woodblock print that originated during the Edo period (1603-1868). The term "Ukiyo-e" translates to "pictures of the floating world," and it refers to the urban culture and pleasure-seeking lifestyle of the time. The creation of these prints required an interesting collaboration between woodblock carvers, artists and printers.
With vivid colours and profound symbolism, each piece tells a story that combines tradition with beauty. From breathtaking landscapes that depict majestic mountains, turbulent seas, as well as delicate cherry blossoms, these prints capture the essence of Japan's rich history, mythology, and daily life, offering a window into the soul of a nation.
During the 19th Century, many Western artists were influenced by Japanese art, aesthetics and culture and this can be seen in the works of prominent artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and Edgar Degas. They were inspired by the flattened perspective, asymmetrical compositions, bold colours, and intricate patterns found in Japanese woodblock prints, ceramics, and textiles.
Our Japanese wall art collection will transport you to a realm of serenity, inspiration, and contemplation. Transform your living space into a gateway to the past, where you can immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of artistic expression and cultural heritage.
