Hinode Red Sun Wave Print | Japanese Sunrise Wall Art

A Japanese sunrise print for a bathroom you want to feel bright first thing. A large, soft red sun sits on a pink-cream ground, and a sea of thick blue curling waves rolls below it. HINODE, sunrise, is lettered on the sheet. It is warm, simple and easy to live with every morning.

About the artwork

Three colors do the work: a faded red for the sun, thick blue line work for the waves, and a pink-cream ground that warms the whole sheet. The sun is large and soft rather than crisp, while the sea below is drawn in bold curling lines. The lettering reads HINODE with the Japanese characters for sunrise, plus the words JAPANDI COLLECTION. The result is woodblock-style, warm and calm. Portrait.

Why you'll love it

• A sunrise for the morning. HINODE means sunrise, a fitting word for the room you start the day in.
• Soft red, not hard red. The faded sun glows rather than shouts, so it stays calm in a small space.
• Bold blue waves. The thick curling lines hold their shape from the doorway as well as up close.
• Pink-cream warmth. The warm ground softens white tile and bright fixtures.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Styling it at home

This suits a bathroom with white, blush or warm gray walls, especially beside a wood vanity or above a freestanding tub. The blue waves pick up blue tile or a navy bath mat, and the red sun works with terracotta or rust towels. A 16" x 24" print fits above a vanity; 12" x 18" suits a narrow wall. An espresso or natural solid wood floating frame warms it further. Pair it with a small blue line drawing of the sea to repeat the waves.

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.
