• Capturing the beauty of the original artwork

  Every one of our prints is made using the Giclee printing process, for a museum-quality look and feel that does justice to the original art.

  Giclee printing is the gold-standard for preserving the meticulous detail and stunning colors that we love in the Japanese masters. All our prints are fade and fingerprint resistant, so you can enjoy their beauty for years to come.

  We chose to offer 12”x18” (30cm x 45cm) as this was closest to the “chuban” size sheets used for woodblock prints historically.

  All of our prints come with matte finish for a more authentic appearance.

  Framing Options:
  

  • Unframed
  • Framed - black
  • Canvas wrap

  Ready-to-Hang and Made to Last

  Mounting brackets are included and centered on our framed prints and canvas wraps.

  All of our prints are made to last, with fade-resistant colors and materials. See how they arrive in the unboxing videos below.

• About the Art

  We appear between the branches of a particularly famous plumtree, called “Garyusai” or “Sleeping Dragon”, which was mentioned in all of the old guidebooks to the city of Edo. In the top left-hand corner of the print is the back of the sign that bears the name of this famous tree.

  Through the branches we see numerous plum trees in blossom, and behind the fence, strolling visitors and admiring them. The closeness of the tree branches and the distance of the figures give this scene a sense of voyeurism.

  One of the most famous prints of not just the series, but Hiroshige’s entire career, this masterpiece was copied directly by Vincent van Gogh as an artistic exercise. It makes use of one of Hiroshige’s favourite devices, that of the object placed very prominently in the foreground, which creates a sense of subjectivity and distance from the background objects.
