Because the old screen painters knew restraint, the warm gold hits harder here. Cranes in mid-flight, a few low waves, a sprig of plum — nothing more, and that's the point.

Hang it and the room shifts warmer. The gold catches every lamp in the evening, and the dark wings give the wall something solid to hold onto. A quiet room suddenly has a centre.

Best over a sideboard, a low console or a dining table — anywhere the eye lands at sitting height. Works on cream, off-white, deep green or a chalky clay wall.

Pair it with warm woods, brass, linen and one piece of dark lacquer or stoneware. A small red accent somewhere in the room picks up the cranes' crowns.

Stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang, with a softer matte finish that suits the gold ground.
