This beautiful woodblock print captures the subtle elegance of a blossoming plum branch, and is based on a traditional Hiroshige postcard design. The delicate blossoms, with their soft petals, portray the coming of spring in Japan. Known for symbolising resilience and renewal, the plum blossom is an enduring motif in Japanese art, and this piece brings that timeless spirit into your home.

What you'll love:

Hand-carved with precision and printed with traditional techniques, this print evokes a sense of serenity and nature's quiet power.
A perfect addition for those who appreciate the art of woodblock printing and the charm of classical Japanese motifs.
The option of a minimal black frame complements both modern and traditional interiors.
Please note this print isn't a standard size. I have the frames custom made to suit the long, slim dimensions, so for your convenience I would recommend choosing the framed option.

Is this an original, or a reproduction print?

This is a hand-made original woodblock print, meticulously crafted by me in my Kirkcudbright studio. I carved the design into blocks of wood and printed from those blocks onto soft, fluffy Japanese paper with archival pigment inks to create this keepsake artwork - make it yours to treasure for years to come.

How big is it?

If you're buying an unframed print the size refers to the overall size of the mount.

If you're choosing a framed print, the size refers to the glass size. The width of the frame moulding will add a couple of centimetres each way to the final dimensions.

What type of paper is it printed on?

The paper for this print is Japanese kanoko - a beautifully soft, fluffy paper with a warm, creamy tone. The inks are water-based pigment inks of archival quality for longevity.

Does it come with the mount?

Yes! The double bevel-cut mount is included in both the unframed and framed versions.

How is it packed for posting?

Unframed prints are sent in a protective sleeve within a rigid cardboard mailing envelope.

Framed prints are packaged with protective bubble and/or cardboard for safe transit.

Is the packaging eco friendly?

All packaging is as environmentally friendly as possible, and can be reused or recycled.

What are the delivery costs and timescales?

No extra shipping costs are added at check out - the price you see is the price you pay! Usual delivery time is within 1 week. Hand-made prints are created, mounted and framed in my studio. Unframed versions are usually in stock, ready to send out to you. Framed versions may not be immediately available, so could take upto 2/3 weeks to arrive. I will be in touch to advise of a delivery timescale once you've placed your order.
