For the classically minded, we have to recommend Japanese woodblock prints. Of course, we’ve all seen “The Great Wave”, the famous illustration of a titan torrent seeming almost to threaten the diminutive Mount Fuji of the background—an utterly stunning work that would serve perfectly as the focal point of any living or dining room, or bathroom if you have a sense of humour. But vintage Japanese prints have plenty of variety, from tranquil scenes of life in ancient Japan to powerful land- and cityscapes. One thing they all have in common is a timeless beauty that is sure to match your other retro items, like Victorian or Second Empire inspired furniture.

Why not see what the modern era has to offer as well? A vintage print is sure to look amazing next to a contemporary work it’s inspired, especially when it presents a stark contrast: a quiet medieval village besides a kinetic painting of a bustling Tokyo street. Or for a soothing bedroom, a gentle watercolour in light pinks and blues...you may even want sheets to match. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Japan’s famous grotesque residents: the giant lizards, moths, and robots that have taken over the world with their wild looks. Posters of these funky denizens are the perfect accompaniment to your collection of films or favourite graphic novels, just be sure the shelves they sit on are super charming as well—something in bamboo would be appropriate!
