Cotton Rosemallows

Ito Jakuchū Botanical Print – From Genpo Yoka (玄圃瑤華) | Cotton Rosemallows

A refined botanical artwork by Edo-period painter Ito Jakuchū, featuring cotton rosemallow blossoms accompanied by delicate insects set against a deep black background. Crisp linework and strong contrast emphasize the intricate beauty of nature, giving the piece a bold yet minimalist presence that complements both traditional and modern interiors.

Created when Jakuchū was 53, Genpo Yoka is a celebrated series of detailed nature studies. “Genpo” refers to a secluded place where hermits live, while “Yoka” means flowers as beautiful as jade—expressing the purity and quiet elegance found throughout the series.

Ideal for Japandi, wabi-sabi, minimalist, and contemporary spaces.

Printed on 290 gsm Bamboo Fine Art paper, the warm, natural white color and gentle hand-feel of the surface are elegant.
