The Art Touch series is a project by TOUCH & FLOW, a shop and brand focused on rediscovering the joy of creation. Rather than printing existing stock images, each design in the series begins with an original artwork commissioned from a specific artist, then reproduced as a paper postcard for everyday use.

For this series, TOUCH & FLOW collaborated with illustrator Sasaki Megumi, born in 1990 and based in Tokyo. Sasaki works across solo exhibitions and group shows throughout Japan, and her illustration style is defined by soft, unhurried mark-making and a restrained palette that keeps each composition quiet and unhurried.

The ten botanical subjects in this set, including shepherd's purse, anemone, hydrangea, rose, lily of the valley, flowering quince, mistletoe, sarsaparilla, rapeseed flower, and hypericum, were each painted on wood using Turner Acrylic Gouache and Liquitex, with color pencils added for fine details. The intended effect was a botanical journal atmosphere that sits between Japanese flat painting traditions and Western three-dimensional botanical illustration.
