Wall Art

Wall art chosen in the spirit of the tokonoma — the traditional Japanese alcove where a single image is given room to breathe. These pieces bring season, landscape, and light into a room without competing for attention, suited to a narrow wall, a small alcove, or a quiet corner.

We offer two options:
Small Lacquer Wall Hanging — lacquered panels on rice paper, framed and sized for intimate spaces.

Tenugui Wall Hanging — traditional stencil-dyed cotton cloths, hung as light, translucent art.

Explore the options below to find the piece that fits your space.

FAQs

What is a tokonoma?
A tokonoma is a recessed alcove found in traditional Japanese rooms, where a single scroll, flower arrangement, or object is displayed. It emphasizes simplicity, seasonality, and careful placement. Both of our wall art pieces are inspired by that restrained approach to display.

What's the difference between the two?
The Small Lacquer Wall Hanging is a fixed lacquered panel in a lightweight frame — a permanent, ready- to-hang piece. The Tenugui Wall Hanging is a stencil-dyed cotton cloth that hangs from wooden rods, lighter in feel and easy to swap with the seasons.

Where does wall art like this work best?
Anywhere you'd like a calm focal point. The tokonoma is our inspiration, not a rule — you don't need a traditional alcove to enjoy these. The Small Lacquer Wall Hanging suits intimate spots where larger artwork would feel intrusive: a narrow wall, a meditation corner, a quiet bit of hallway. The Tenugui Wall Hanging is more generous in scale and holds its own as a statement piece on an open wall, while still working beautifully in a smaller setting. Both simply ask for a little space of their own.

How do I hang them?
The Small Lacquer Wall Hanging comes framed and ready to hang. The Tenugui Wall Hanging uses a set of wooden rods (available on its product page) that grip the cloth top and bottom — no clips or sewing
needed.
