Willow & Waves

Original colourway on Edo painted silk with antiquing

– ABOUT THIS DESIGN –

Against a vast sky brimming with scallop-edged golden clouds, gracefully bowing willow trees hang over southeast Kyoto’s Uji river, an iconic scene often described in Japan’s literary works like The Tale of Genji. Inspired by a 17th-century Japanese folding screen, ‘Willow and Waves’ is brilliantly rendered using luminous metallic pigments on an aged painted silk ground. The stylised trees and wavy ribbons of water depicted in flat perspective imbue the design with a modern spirit that recalls Art Deco era artistry.
