The peony is the king of flowers in Japanese tattooing and a favourite of fine-line work. These nine show an irezumi peony in wind and waves, a single open bloom seen from above, and a bouquet of three peonies with buds. Each is drawn in irezumi, fine line and dotwork. Type a different flower or a twist, such as a koi beside the bloom, and the three styles carry the request.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three designs?
An irezumi peony in wind and waves, a single open bloom, and a bouquet of three peonies with buds. Each comes in three styles.
Can I print these?
Each design sits on a plain white background in dark line work, so it reads clearly on paper.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Irezumi has bold outlines, gradient shading and red, teal and ochre accents. Fine line is one hairline stroke with almost no shading, and dotwork builds its shading from dots in black ink only.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. Type the subject or twist you want, such as a koi beside the bloom. The nine shown are samples, and a request is not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
