The Sea Monk (Umi Bozu) is a sea monster with a smooth round head, like the shaven head of a Buddhist monk. This woodblock print illustrates the story of the sailor Kawanaya Tokuzo, who decides to go to sea on the last day of the year, which other sailors consider unlucky. A violent storm breaks out, and the Umi Bozu appears. In a ghastly voice the apparition demands, "Name the most horrible thing you know!" Tokuzo yells back, "My profession is the most horrible thing I know!" The monster is apparently satisfied with this answer and disappears along with the storm.

As the golden hues of sunset kiss the sea, this exquisite print captures the serene beauty of Ardulanish Bay with an Art Nouveau twist. The piece is a riot of colour, where the warm oranges and pinks of the evening sky blend seamlessly with the tranquil blues and purples of the Scottish waters. Embellished with graceful, flowing lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, the tableau oozes an organic essence, as if nature itself has been stylised into a dance of curves and waves. The sun, a radiant orb, dips towards the horizon, its light reflecting off the gently rippling water, leading the eye through a mesmerising path across the bay. Silhouetted rock formations rise majestically, framing the scene with their powerful, yet elegant outlines. The delicate interplay of light and shadow infuses the print with a sense of depth and harmony. In the foreground, the intricate detailing of the rocks and pools showcases the signature elegance and decorative quality of the Art Nouveau movement. Each brushstroke is intentional, contributing to the overall ornamental feel of the piece while paying homage to the natural world's sublime beauty. The allure of this print lies in its ability to transport you to the tranquil shores of one of Scotland's most picturesque coves, inviting a sense of peace and reflection into any space it graces. Whether adorning a home or office, this print is sure to captivate and charm lovers of both the Scottish coastline and the timeless Art Nouveau style.
