Why We're Loving Interiors Inspired by Japanese Flora and Fauna

Gracefully reaching stalks of bamboo, wind-swept willow branches, elegant cranes about to take flight—the native flora and fauna of Japan have inspired centuries of artists and designers with their elegant refinement. Today, recent design introductions of everything from eye-catching chrysanthemum-filled wallpapers to porcelain lamps swathed in hand-painted cherry blossoms are once again transporting us to the verdant gardens of Japan. And just like the gardens they are channeling, these new designs can be appreciated for their simplicity, thoughtful restraint, and undeniable artistry.

At a time when the power of nature is more apparent than ever, what better way to constantly be immersed in the serenity of a garden than by surrounding yourself indoors with depictions of plants, flowers, and wildlife? Read on to discover a few of our favorite finds inspired by the beauty of Japan's natural world.
