Tokyo Red Sun Skyline Print | Retro Japanese Wall Art

A retro Tokyo print for a living room that could use some warmth. A huge red sun fills the sky behind Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower and a red pagoda, with a shrine and city buildings gathered below. "TOKYO" runs along a red band at the foot of the sheet. It reads like a travel poster for the whole city at once.

About the artwork

The sky is yellow-orange and turquoise, and the red sun sits in it like a stamp. Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower, a red pagoda, a shrine and a cluster of buildings are layered from back to front in the flat, graphic shapes of a retro travel print. The lettering is a single word, "TOKYO", set on a solid red band along the bottom that repeats the red of the sun above. Warm and cool colors split the sheet almost evenly. Portrait.

Why you'll love it

• The sun does the heavy lifting. A red disc this large gives the print one clear focal point, so it reads from the far side of a room.
• Old and new Tokyo in one frame. Tokyo Tower and modern buildings share the skyline with a pagoda and a shrine.
• Fuji on the horizon. Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak at 3,776 m, sits behind the city as the calm shape in a busy scene.
• Warm and cool in balance. Red and yellow-orange are offset by turquoise sky, so it sits well with warm wood or cool gray walls.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Sizes and materials

• Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Thirteen sizes in all: 8" x 12" through 30" x 40", plus A4–A1.
• Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Styling it at home

Hang this over the sofa in a living room, where the red sun can sit near eye level. It is bright enough to carry a white or pale gray wall on its own at 24" x 36". Warm wood, a rust or mustard cushion and a low media console pick up the orange in the sky. Pair it with a plain turquoise or ink-blue abstract on the next wall so the red is not the only strong color in the room.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

What size works above a sofa? For a standard three-seat sofa, 24" x 36" or 30" x 40" fills the space well. Aim for the print to cover about two-thirds of the sofa's width.

What does the lettering say? Just one word, TOKYO, printed on a red band along the bottom of the design.

Which frame color suits it? A natural or espresso solid wood floating frame warms up the orange sky, while white keeps the look crisp and graphic.
