UKIYO-E JAPANESE ART
GREETING CARD
WITH ENVELOPE

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

"Eastern Genji: The Garden in Snow" ( 東源氏雪の庭), part of tryptych by Utagawa Kunisada and Utagawa Hiroshige, 1854.

This playful artwork shows a scene from "A Rustic Genji", a Japanese graphic novel based on the 11th-century classic The Tale of Genji.
Here we see an impeccable and frosty garden, where three court ladies are having fun making a giant snow rabbit ♡
This work was a collaboration between two masters - Utagawa Kunisada (the figures and the giant snow rabbit) and Utagawa Hiroshige (the background landscape) - and capitalized on each artist’s individual strengths, with the resulting print being as sublime in its understated beauty, as it was in the skill with which it was executed ♥

Haiku calligraphy on the back of the card:

"Let’s go out
And look at the snow
Until we slip and fall"

Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)
