Graceful, resilient, and deeply evocative—Windswept Cypress captures the spirit of the California coast in Yoshiko Yamamoto’s masterful woodblock style. Inspired by the iconic Monterey cypress trees shaped by ocean breezes, this tile embodies both strength and serenity in Motawi’s signature raised-line technique, bringing the majestic beauty of nature to indoor spaces.
