Blue Pumpkins
by Taguchi Tomoki
Taguchi Tomoki (active mid-19th century) was a Japanese woodblock artist best known for his rare book of prints, Yatsuo no Tsubaki (Eight Hills Camellia), created during the late Edo period. The book distilled everyday motifs and abstract forms into bold visual statements, blending restraint with striking design.
In this vibrant work, Tomoki transforms gourds, vines, and butterflies into a striking ornamental composition rendered entirely in shades of blue. The interplay of natural forms and decorative rhythm blurs the line between pattern and landscape, celebrating both simplicity and abundance. The result is a work that feels playful yet refined, rooted in tradition while anticipating modern design sensibilities.
Though created over 150 years ago, Tomoki’s art feels distinctly contemporary. His focus on reduction, harmony, and bold composition aligns seamlessly with today’s Japandi and modern interior styles, proving the timeless relevance of his vision.
Perfect for Japandi interiors, eclectic contemporary spaces, and homes that embrace both nature and abstraction.
Individually restored & edited, printed on fine art archival matte paper, this piece honors the delicate line work and atmospheric mastery of traditional Japanese-inspired art.
