Mt Asama Teahouses – Hiroshige Japanese Ukiyo-e Greeting Card

A large Japanese art greeting card featuring Utagawa Hiroshige's Teahouses at the Top of Mt Asama, Ise (伊勢 朝熊山峠の茶屋), 1853.

Travellers climbing Mount Asama pause at hillside teahouses, where the steep mountain path opens onto a sweeping view across Ise Bay. Hiroshige exaggerates the dramatic height of the mountain, turning the little teahouses into tiny resting places suspended above the landscape.

More than a card

Turn the card over to discover the story behind the artwork. The fully printed back includes the artwork title in English and Japanese, a short introduction to the scene, and our Look Closer feature — highlighting a detail, story or compositional trick that might otherwise be missed.

A specially chosen Japanese hanko, inspired by the spirit of the print, completes the design.

Beautiful enough to keep as well as send, the card is suitable for birthdays, thank-yous, anniversaries, congratulations or simply writing to someone just because.

Printed in rich colour on silk-finish art card, giving Hiroshige's original woodblock colours depth and vibrancy with a soft sheen. The generous A5 format also makes the card lovely for framing afterwards as a miniature art print.

Printed in the UK using eco-friendly toner on card made from sustainably sourced pulp and produced as part of the Carbon Capture Programme.

Also available: as part of curated Hiroshige sets of five and ten cards.
