Balloon Lamp

These are rubber balloon lights.
By blowing through a hole on the base, you can inflate the balloon
and then hang it anywhere inside or out for a light (and then swivel the base to turn it off).
Made in Japan.

We love Japanese Design!

Scenes by a Riverside: c. 1880, Woodblock Prints by Mori Shunkei

  














Still Life is pleased to present a selection of woodblock prints by Mori Shunkei portraying a full array of various insects and flowers. Mori Shunkei was an Osaka artist. He was a student of the famed Mori Shunsen and like his master he is best known for his nature studies. Exquisitely printed, softly colored and sensitively designed these realistic renderings exemplify Shunkei’s profound love of nature.
