Be Inspired - Artistic Movements - Ukiyo-e

Step into a world where beauty drifts like petals on water; ephemeral, timeless, and radiant. This collection celebrates the spirit of the Ukiyo-e Movement, a Japanese movement popular between the 17th - 19th centuries, depicting everyday scenes with a sense of wonder.

At its heart stands Amaterasu, the radiant sun goddess, illuminating the path of tradition and imagination. Her presence flows into the crashing elegance of Hokusai’s waves and delicate florals; masterpieces reminding us of nature’s eternal dance between strength and serenity.

This legacy is reimagined through the modern lens: Erika Greenfield’s Ukiyo-e–inspired visions revive classical lines with fresh contemporary energy, whilst Mark Chandon’s portraits reinterpret the human spirit with a bold, modern intimacy. The dialogue between past and present continues as Claude Monet’s Le Pont Japonais bridges French Impressionism with the Japanese aesthetic influence.

From the graceful pairing of cranes by Ohara Koson, to the floral elegance of Kitagawa, every piece is imbued with the serenity of nature. Suzuki Harunobu’s narrative scenes tell stories of daily life with delicate refinement, whilst Michele Falzone’s reflections expand the Ukiyo-e vision outward, echoing its reverence for balance and harmony in landscapes far from Japan. Sofia Perina-Miller’s Japanese-inspired florals bring the cycle full circle, honouring centuries of tradition with contemporary blossoms.

Together, these works form a tapestry woven across time, culture, and imagination, where the transient becomes eternal. Like a floating world itself, this collection invites you to pause, reflect, marvel and immerse yourself in the calm beauty of the natural world.
