 UKIYO-E JAPANESE ART
GREETING CARD
WITH ENVELOPE

A greeting card with a ukiyo-e print of outstanding beauty, chosen and printed with love 。.:*♡
Complementary classic haiku calligraphy on the back of each card.

"Kobai" (紅梅 Red Plum), from the series "Beauties in the Modern Style, an Assortment of Flowers" (Tôfû bijin hana zukushi" 当風美人花尽).
By Kikukawa Eizan, 1807.

Clasping the flower cutters in a delicate white hand, she's casting a critical look on a flowering plum branch in her other hand, moments before placing it in a readied vase.
It's as if the artist is asking us to compare the flawlessly proportioned blossoming branch and the flawlessly attired beauty holding it! Gorgeous. ♡

Haiku calligraphy on the back of the card:

"A plum tree blossom
after blossom -
the warmth of spring"

Ransetsu Hattori (1653-1708)

♡ (Card code for the mix: P56 )
♡ Blank inside for your own message
♡ Envelope included
♡ 5" x 7" (12.5cm x 17.5cm) size
