Description
Waves swirl against the rocks in this framed print, 'Stormy Sea at the Naruto Rapids' from 'Famous Places of the Sixty Provinces', 1853, by nineteenth-century Japanese artist, Hiroshige./p> This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. The acrylic glaze is light in weight and optically the same as glass. Ready to hang on your wall, it's made in the UK in an exclusive size for John Lewis & Partners. Utagawa Hiroshige, born Andō Hiroshige (1797-1858), was a nineteenth-century Japanese ukiyo-e artist, specialising in beautiful verticle landscape artwork. He was considered to be one of the last great masters of the colour woodblock printing technique. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
The Ando Hiroshige stormy sea print is a striking addition that works particularly well in coastal, Japandi, or minimalist interiors where the focus is on calming, natural tones. I love it because of its bold imagery and the sense of movement it brings to a space. It pairs nicely with neutral palettes, textured furniture, or even darker accent walls to create a dramatic focal point. When styling, consider grouping it with other prints or keeping surrounding decor simple to let the artwork stand out. Using a clean frame, as shown here, helps to modernise the traditional feel and makes it adaptable for various contemporary settings.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
