Kamisaka Sekka: Mountains (1909) Japanese Rinpa Woodblock Print

Invite the serene, bold spirit of Kyoto into your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Kamisaka Sekka’s Mountains, a breathtaking masterwork of early 20th-century Japanese design.

In 1909, Kamisaka Sekka released Momoyogusa, a work intended to breathe new life into the traditional Rinpa style. His mountains are not literal representations but poetic abstractions. By using vast areas of negative space and bold, sweeping curves, Sekka captures the 'essence' of the Japanese landscape. Influenced by his travels to Europe and his exposure to the Arts and Crafts movement, Sekka’s work possesses a graphic clarity that resonates with modern minimalism. Each peak is rendered with a sense of monumental stillness, embodying the Zen philosophy of finding the infinite within the simple.

Original woodblock prints from Momoyogusa are prized for their subtle textures and hand-applied color gradations. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the delicate wood-grain textures and the rich, matte depth of the original inks. Printed on premium, acid-free washi-style paper, it ensures the crisp lines and tranquil atmosphere remain a timeless focal point in your space.

A sophisticated Statement Piece for a minimalist living room, a meditation space, or a professional design studio. This Kamisaka Sekka Print is an exceptional gift for architects, lovers of Japanese culture, and collectors of modern graphic art.
