Japanese Butterflies - Kamisaka Sekka Kacho-e Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Kamisaka Sekka's A Thousand Butterflies (Chō senshu) is a dazzling feast for the eyes, marrying Meiji-era innovation with timeless Japanese aesthetics. This 1904 woodblock masterpiece showcases a riot of lepidopteran diversity, from regal swallowtails to gossamer-winged hairstreaks.

Sekka's genius lies in his audacious fusion of traditional ukiyo-e techniques with Art Nouveau flair, creating a visual language that transcends cultural boundaries. Each butterfly is a miniature marvel, rendered with painstaking precision and bursting with vibrant hues that seem to defy the limitations of woodblock printing.

This isn't just entomological eye candy; it's a bold statement on the cusp of Japan's modernization. Sekka's work flutters between worlds - East and West, tradition and innovation - much like the ethereal creatures he depicts. A time capsule of Japanese artistic evolution. And a conversation starter that never fails to enchant and intrigue.
