Traditional Japanese art: Gold-coloured ginkgo 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 refined work of the Japanese master Kamisaka Sekka (1866–1942). As a leading innovator of the classical Rimpa school, he excelled in stylised, organic natural motifs. The Ginkgo biloba leaf structure is a beloved and iconic symbol in Japanese art. This graceful piece features two characteristic Ginkgo biloba leaves on an elegantly curved branch. The image is rendered in a style strongly inspired by traditional Japanese embroidery such as Sashiko. The refined, fan-shaped stitching textures and the soft natural linen background with subtle pastel shades give the design a textile-like quality.

In Japanese culture, the Ginkgo biloba symbolises hope, a long life and timeless strength. The harmonious colour palette consists of warm golden yellow, ochre, olive green and soft sandy tones, set against a background accented with soft mint-green and cream shades. These understated hues bring a serene, calm atmosphere to the room.

This design fits seamlessly with popular interior trends such as Japandi and Wabi-Sabi, which combine clean lines, craftsmanship and natural textures. This piece also makes a stylish, timeless statement within a modern, minimalist or botanical interior.
