Ito Nishiki, Hibiscus Kimono Pattern Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Hibiscus keeps a strict schedule. Every blossom spreads at dawn and shuts by nightfall, which makes this Ito Nishiki kimono pattern art print a small act of magic. Here the one-day flower sits fixed in brass-toned gilt on a cobalt field, long overdue for its own wilting.
Ito Nishiki means thread brocade. And this sheet is its rehearsal. A hand-painted Japanese textile design of the sort Nishijin weavers in Kyoto read before warping a loom. An anonymous designer painted it flat, sometime in Edo's final century or the Meiji years after it. Scalloped petals gather in pleats, and a cinnabar hairline rules the folds. At lower left a second flower head tips forward and shows its pollen-studded pistil. Spidery foliage spins on its stalks. The vines borrow the old karakusa arabesque, with arcs that cross and never knot.
Tokugawa sumptuary edicts once barred townspeople from gold-thread embroidery, so a design this gilded carried a charge. Picture it wound around a waist as an obi on a summer street, lit by lanterns.
Hang this Japanese art print and the wall becomes a loom at rest, each metallic vein still waiting for its thread. On your wall, this vintage Japanese floral design finishes the kosode's old trick. A flower meant to close by evening stays out all night.

Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
