Bridges (Yatsuhashi) by Sekka Canvas Print

Bridges (Yatsuhashi) by Sekka Canvas PrintStart with the deep blue; it'll wake every oak and linen around it. This is a reproduction of Kamisaka Sekka's Bridges (Yatsuhashi), and the blue irises do real work in a calm room they give a quiet, neutral space a single confident note without pulling it off balance. Hang it eye level above a low console, a writing desk or a bedside cabinet, on a chalky off white or warm stone wall. Pairs well with pale wood, soft linen, dark green textiles and

cream linen and a few woven baskets — keep the rest of the room calm and let the colours do the talking

A black or oak frame keeps the Arts and Crafts feel without competing with the gold

It also sits beautifully in a child's room

and the crowd's reds

a quiet desk

It pairs nicely with warm timber cabinets

The colours do the heavy lifting: a sugar-pink tabletop

where a deep charcoal background can do the heavy lifting

Keep the wall around it calm — no busy patterned wallpaper or competing fruit prints fighting for the same job

It also gets on well with a single woven rug and a softly shaded lamp

Yellow lightning bolts add a bit of humour so the whole thing doesn't get too serious
