Traditional Japanese art: Peacocks and Peonies with Japanese embroidery by Studio Pieternel

● Exclusive design for Werk aan de Muur / Art Heroes

This print, embellished with traditional Japanese embroidery (Sashiko), is based on the refined work of the Japanese Edo-period master Ito Jakuchu (1716–1800). Jakuchu was renowned for his exquisitely detailed, colourful and almost hypnotic depictions of birds and flora (kacho-ga), in which he captured peacocks, peonies and rock formations with meticulous precision and artistic vision. This richly detailed work depicts two peacocks in a garden filled with blooming peonies and jagged rocks. The image is executed in a style strongly inspired by traditional Japanese embroidery such as Sashiko. The refined stitching textures, the gold-coloured feather structures and the soft sand-coloured linen background give the design a tactile, handcrafted textile feel.

In the Asian artistic tradition, peacocks and peonies symbolise prosperity, happiness and regal beauty. The elegant colour palette combines warm gold and bronze tones with soft pink, lilac, warm orange and bright white in the petals, complemented by deep emerald-green leaves and turquoise accents in the peacock’s tail.

This design fits seamlessly with contemporary interior trends such as Japandi, Wabi-Sabi and hotel-chic or botanical interiors. The unique balance between rich detail and natural textile textures makes this piece a breathtaking eye-catcher on the wall.
