Shibaraku by Kamisaka Sekka Art Print hammock What to skip: heavy darkBecause Kamisaka Sekka knew restraint, the warm brown hits harder here. One figure, two big square motifs, a flash of sword and acres of quiet cream around it. The room calms down and lifts at the same time. Hang it at eye level on a chalky off white or plaster wall, above a low console, sideboard or writing desk. It works solo in a hallway or study, or as the anchor of a small, well spaced trio. Pair with pale oak or walnut, linen, paper lampshades
