Shinzi Katoh

Shinzi Katoh zoo posterI recently discovered Shinzi Katoh when I saw this cute zoo poster on the wall at a friend’s house.  She had it framed in her son’s room, and I absolutely fell in love!  She was surprised I had never heard of this famous Japanese artist before, and frankly, after a little of my own research, so am I! There is a whole world created around his work — loads of lovely products with his charming designs: cute tableware, tote bags, fabric, ribbons, home decor pieces, artwork, etc.

Am I the last person on earth to discover him? Maybe so.

I’m especially in love with this darling zoo print.  I love the retro colors and the simple designs.  I think it’s perfect for a child’s room. In fact, I’ve just ordered it for my boys; I think they’ll love it!

From the US you can order it here.  Or else directly from his website, like I did.
