Traditional Japanese art: Bird on a blossom branch with Japanese embroidery by Studio Pieternel

● Exclusive design for Werk aan de Muur / Art Heroes

This print, featuring traditional Japanese embroidery (Sashiko), is based on the well-known work of the Japanese Shin-hanga master Ohara Koson (1877–1945). Koson gained worldwide fame for his refined prints of birds and flowers (kacho-e), in which he skilfully combined clean lines, atmospheric compositions and an admirable attention to the beauty of nature.

In this graceful design, a distinctive black bird perches peacefully on an elegantly winding branch adorned with pink and white blossoms and leaves. The illustration is executed in a style strongly inspired by traditional Japanese embroidery such as Sashiko. Thanks to the refined stitching textures, golden accent lines and the soft natural linen background, the design has a tactile, handcrafted textile feel.

The graphic contrast between the black bird and the delicate, soft-pink blossoms creates a powerful yet balanced visual dynamic. The colour palette consists of warm beige, powder pink, soft green, deep black and subtle golden details in the finish. These harmonious tones instantly bring a calm and poetic atmosphere to the room.

This design fits seamlessly with popular interior design trends such as Japandi and Wabi-Sabi, which centre on serenity, simplicity and the beauty of nature. This piece also makes for a refined focal point in a botanical, minimalist or Scandinavian interior.
