A large Japanese Christmas greeting card featuring Utagawa Hiroshige's Kameyama, Clear Weather after Snow (亀山 雪晴 / Kameyama – Sekibare), c.1834, from The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō.
A daimyo procession climbs the steep path towards Kameyama Castle through brilliant sunlit snow, creating one of Hiroshige's most striking winter compositions. A green and gold snowy frame surrounds the print; the Japanese greeting on the reverse translates as “May you enjoy a peaceful winter season.”

More than a card
On the front, the ukiyo-e artwork is carefully set within a festive patterned background, with a seasonal greeting in English positioned to complement the image without obscuring it.
Turn the card over to find a Japanese seasonal greeting in calligraphy, accompanied by an English translation and the artist’s name. The fully printed reverse uses a coordinating pattern for a rich, finished appearance.
Beautiful enough to keep as well as send, the card is perfect for Christmas and New Year correspondence and also lovely for framing afterwards as a miniature art print.
Printed in rich colour on silk-finish art card, giving the original woodblock colours depth and vibrancy with a soft sheen.
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 sets of five and ten cards.
