Autumn and Water
by Watanabe Seitei
Autumn and Water by Watanabe Seitei is a graceful example of the artist’s refined approach to kachōga, or bird-and-flower painting, expanded here to embrace seasonal motifs. The composition depicts vividly colored maple leaves drifting across stylized currents of water, rendered with delicate brushwork and subtle gradations of tone. The interplay of vibrant reds, oranges, and soft neutrals against the flowing blues creates a balanced yet dynamic scene.
Seitei was admired for his ability to capture fleeting moments in nature with both precision and lyricism. In this work, the floating leaves symbolize the passage of time and the transient beauty of autumn, themes deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics. The combination of stylized design and natural observation reflects Seitei’s unique blending of tradition with modern sensibilities.
This is a faithful reproduction as a giclée print, printed on museum-grade, archival fine art paper for lasting vibrancy and detail.
Print Quality & Material
The majority of our art prints are inspired by ancient books and archives, dating back centuries. While each image is meticulously edited by hand to guarantee the highest quality print, their origin in old techniques occasionally leads to a mistaken perception of pixelation. However, these prints are not pixelated.
One of these methods, lithography, involves a chemical process that imparts a unique, softly blended appearance to the images. This quality is what makes the prints beautiful and distinctive. Please note that these images are not vectorized illustrations; a subtle textured effect may be present, adding to their charm and reflecting their historical craftsmanship.

Excellent condition and shipping time. While slightly expensive, the inspiration this print will bring is worth the price.
This print is beautiful as shown in picture safely wrapped to prevent any damage from occurring
I recently ordered the Kitsungi (pink version) and Shinrin-Yoku (Tori gate version) at the 50x70 size and they were despatched within a couple of days. Delivery from Sweden was swift and they arrived safely and well packaged. I bought them unframed as I had bought 2 frames from Ikea for them. I have to say that they are absolutely gorgeous and I love them. Beautiful quality and the colours/designs are stunning. I will be getting more of the series - the zen, ikigai etc but they are a little pricey so I need to wait a little while before getting some more. Would definitely recommend the Houseofkoyomi. Thank you so much.
These prints are absolutely gorgeous. I got the 11 x 14 size. I put them in a relatively inexpensive frame and they look like $1 million..
For the size and print quality this is excellent value. Thick matte paper and colors look beautiful.
The composition with lily pads and lotus blossoms creates a calm ‘water-garden’ aesthetic. Great for a bedroom or relaxation corner.
Opted for the natural wood frame version. Frame craftsmanship is solid and complements the artwork rather than overpowering it.
I sent this as a house-warming gift. My friend is obsessed with Asia and loved it! The print arrived in perfect condition.
