Enso Neko, sleeping cat in ink circle

Every Yugen piece is a digital design inspired by sumi-e ink painting, developed with the help of digital and AI tools and finished in the studio. Each one is a print, not a hand-painted original, made to order by JONDO, our print partner, including for UK and EU orders.

8x12, 12x8 and the 14x14, 16x16 and 20x20 squares are printed on Fine Art paper only.

Enso Neko shows a cat curled so tightly into sleep that its body forms a near-perfect ring, ears pricked and whiskers loose against a warm cream ground, drawn in the spirit of sumi-e with the same single unbroken stroke Zen practitioners use for the ensō circle; it is printed to order on your choice of Matte or Fine Art (archival) paper, suited to a bedroom, reading nook, or any room meant for slowing down.
