Kamisaka Sekka: Ocean Waves (c. 1900s) Japanese Rimpa Art Print

Bring a sense of meditative calm to your walls. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Kamisaka Sekka’s 1900s masterpiece, a pinnacle of Japanese Rimpa design.

At the turn of the 20th century, Kamisaka Sekka revitalized the ancient Rimpa tradition for a modern audience. This Ocean Waves print is a perfect example of his ability to distill nature into its most essential, poetic forms. Unlike the dramatic power of Hokusai’s waves, Sekka’s vision is one of Zen-like tranquility. The use of silver-toned ink to represent the spray of the sea creates a luminous, almost musical quality against the warm, earthy tones of the background. Sekka’s work was instrumental in the 'Japonisme' that swept through the Western art world, influencing everything from graphic design to the architecture of the early 1900s.

Sekka's originals are famed for their subtle textures and sophisticated use of metallic inks. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the intricate 'ripple' patterns and the soft, hazy transitions of the sand and sky. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the minimalist elegance and luminous atmosphere of Sekka’s vision remains a timeless focal point in your home.

A quintessential Statement Piece for a minimalist living room, a tranquil bedroom, or a contemporary coastal home. This Kamisaka Sekka Print is an exceptional gift for designers, architects, and those who seek peace in fine art.
