Winter Scenes from the Uchida Publisher Archives

Winter Scenes from the Uchida Publisher Archives - Celebrate the season with winter scenes from the Uchida Publisher archives. We were fortunate to purchase a wonderful collection of 20th century prints directly from the archives of the Uchida Art Company of Kyoto. We've put together a handsome group of seasonal subjects, perfect for gift giving or as a decorative display. These winter designs are attractively colored and detailed, with subjects ranging from snow-covered landscapes and temples under falling snow to children sledding and geisha enjoying a winter stroll. A charming group from which to choose. Don't miss out on these prints, once they sell out, we won't have them again!

Building a Snowman - Charming winter scene from the "Tale of Genji" of a beauty and a young girl playing in the snow, rolling giant snowballs to build a snowman. The beauty kneels beside the smaller mound, looking down with a sad expression, her sleeves held to her chest. The girl pulls back the sleeve of her red kimono as she watches her companion. A snow-covered pine tree frames a view of the sea beyond. An interesting subject, detailed with delicate gold mica designs in both kimono, and gold mica across the top of the sky.
