In Japanese homes, paintings have always occupied an important place, from prints such as The Great Wave of Kanagawa to more modern, trendy pieces like this Samurai Ninja Japanese Painting. Their style has of course evolved from the ukiyo-e artistic movement, which featured landscapes, samurai, yokai (Japanese mythological spirits), representations of Buddha and erotic scenes, to a more diversified style. But even if Japanese paintings today have a more modern style, thanks to the evolution of printing methods and artistic trends, the same motifs and cultural references characteristic of Japan have remained: samurai, flowers, bamboo, geishas, koi carp, sakura cherry trees and all kinds of mythological monsters such as dragons and demons.
Japanese prints and paintings have also greatly influenced Western artists in the way they paint their works. What's more, Japanese decorative objects are increasingly present in our homes. Indeed, they have gained in popularity all over the world, as people appreciate the unique and distinctive style of these paintings.
The Japanese architectural style, characterized by the Zen atmosphere that emanates from it, is undoubtedly at the origin of paintings like this Samurai Ninja Japanese Painting. Designers and decorators the world over are inspired by these homes, which have long been proven to promote peace of mind and calm in everyday life. With this in mind, we'd like to take a look at this Samurai Ninja Japanese picture and give you a few tips on how to easily integrate it into one of your living spaces and show it off to its best advantage.
Why install a Japanese picture in your home?
Before analyzing the design of this Samurai Ninja Japanese picture point by point, and seeing how to set it off in relation to your decorative objects (lamps, candles, furniture, light fittings, rugs, chairs, tables, armchairs, sofas, cushions...), décor, colors and decorative style (antique, Scandinavian, modern...) already present in your home, we'd like to quickly remind you why it's preferable to opt for a Japanese picture like this and not for a classic picture with an industrial, mainstream style.
First of all, it's important to ask yourself what it is that makes you so fond of Japanese culture. Maybe it's because it's a country you visit often, or maybe it's just the country's designs that you're particularly fond of. Whatever the case, it's important that you have a minimum affinity with this culture and its designs. In fact, owning a painting like this Samurai Ninja Japanese Painting is a way of doing so without having to travel. But above all, it's a decorative piece designed to make your home, or at least your living space, a place that's uniquely yours, with a cosy, cocooning atmosphere. Installing objects you love makes you feel at home, because your personal tastes are reflected in the components of the space you live in every day. Unconsciously, this makes us happier and more energetic than if the room were empty and impersonal. That's why, if you're a fan of Japanese culture, a Japanese picture is a much better choice than a mass-market picture designed to add color to the room.
Where to install this Samurai Ninja Japanese picture ?
Now that we've seen why, if you appreciate the Japanese style, it's best to create a personal space with decorations like this Samurai Ninja Japanese Painting. Let's compare the pros and cons of the rooms in which you can install this painting.
In general, the most suitable room for this painting is the living room, since it's usually a large room with lots of light, and it's not difficult to find a wall big enough to accommodate it. Be careful, however, to leave enough space around the picture and not to stick it too close to a shelf, piece of furniture or chest of drawers, otherwise it may not stand out well in the room. Secondly, this Samurai Ninja Japanese Painting can be displayed in a bedroom. This gives it personality, and means you'll always have Japanese culture and its traditional designs close to you when you sleep. Last but not least, the kitchen and the pee room are the two most suitable places for this painting, provided you have the space and your wallpaper and curtains are in keeping with it. If you wish to place it in the bathroom, this is also an option, but take care not to place it right next to the shower or bath so as not to risk damaging the painting with drops of water.
How to show off this Japanese Samurai Ninja painting ?
Once you've decided on the room in which to display this painting, you'll need to choose the wall on which to place it. If your furniture configuration and room layout don't allow you to consider several choices, you won't need to think about it. But if several walls are likely to accommodate the picture, it's best to hang it in the center of the wall, to leave some distance around it, so that it stands out in the room and creates a warm atmosphere.
Also, make sure you don't hang this Japanese Samurai Ninja painting too far from the room's lighting, whether natural or artificial, as its colors may not stand out to their best advantage. Finally, as for the walls, if you have several choices when it comes to lighting, it's also advisable to favour a natural light source so that its hue isn't slightly altered by the hue reflected by a lamp, bulb or lampshade.
