CloseUkiyo-e Cushion in Storm Blue
Drawing from the colours in the original woodblock print that inspired our Ukiyo-e cushion, this colourway combines soft blues and greys with details in gold.
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. Made famous by Hokusai and Hiroshige, these paintings and woodblock prints depict daily life in a bold, graphic style – to stunning effect.
A particularly wonderful example is Evening Rain at Eitai Bridge, a print designed by Hiroshige in 1840, which inspired our Ukiyo-e fabric collection and now our Ukiyo-e cushion.
The design, created here in needlepoint, showcases many styles of stitching and over-embroidery to interpret the lines and textures in the original woodblock print. The result is a unique, handmade work of art that will bring joy for many years to come."
