About the Artist
Taguchi Tomoki was a Japanese woodblock print artist active in the late Edo period, a time when botanical art flourished in Japan. Artists of this era often drew inspiration from garden flora, merging scientific curiosity with aesthetic refinement. Tomoki’s works reflect a cultural appreciation for the beauty and symbolism of flowers, which were frequently depicted in printmaking for both educational and decorative purposes.

The Artwork
This print, Yatsuo no tsubaki 2, is dedicated to the camellia, a flower deeply rooted in Japanese culture and often associated with the changing seasons and refined beauty. During the nineteenth century, such prints were accessible to a wide audience, allowing people to bring the elegance of nature into their homes. The title likely refers to a particular camellia variety or a specific region, reflecting the period’s fascination with cataloguing and celebrating local plant life.
Serving both as art and as a record of botanical interest, this piece exemplifies the intersection of cultural tradition and everyday enjoyment in Japanese printmaking.
Style & Characteristics
The composition is boldly stylized, featuring large, rhythmic green leaves and a single camellia blossom rendered with simplified, abstract forms. The dominant green hues are complemented by subtle touches of yellow, set against a clean, pale background that enhances the clarity of the design. Crisp contours and flat areas of color are characteristic of woodblock technique, giving the print a sense of order and tranquility.
The overall mood is serene and balanced, making this art print a harmonious addition to any interior setting.
In Interior Design
This vintage print brings a sense of calm and natural beauty to living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways, especially when paired with light woods, neutral textiles, and minimalist decor. Its green palette works well with sage, olive, cream, and muted yellow accents, and it integrates seamlessly into a green wall art arrangement for a peaceful, plant-inspired atmosphere.
