UKIYO-E JAPANESE ART
GREETING CARD
WITH ENVELOPE
 
(Card code for the mix: G86 )
 
A Christmas greeting card with an ukiyo-e print of outstanding beauty, chosen and printed with love 。.:*♡
Complementary classic haiku calligraphy on the back of the card.

"Beauty Walking on a Snowy Day" (also known as "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital: The Year-end Fair at Asakusa" 東都名所浅草歳の市), part of triptych, by Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III), 19th century.

A stylish beauty standing in an elegant pose, her little foot in a tall geta sandal poking out from underneath her padded kimono. Behind her we can just about catch a glimpse of hustle and bustle of the fair going in the grounds of Sensō-ji temple in Asakusa. A lovely winter's day out! ♡

Haiku calligraphy on the back of the card:

"Snow falling on snow:
Tonight, could it be
December’s full moon?"

Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)


♡ Blank inside for your own message
♡ Envelope included
♡ 5" x 7" (12.5cm x 17.5cm) size

Perfect for many occasions, particularly for Christmas and other winter holidays!

Silk Art print for deep vibrant colours and soft sheen finish - any of these cards would look stunning framed on your wall or desk ♥
