This small vignette print, from a design by Hiroshige, draws on the delicate elegance of traditional Japanese woodblock artistry. Featuring a stylised rendering of irises, it captures the structure and grace of these flowers in endearing miniature form. Irises are often seen in Japanese gardens and are known for their symbolism of purity and strength. As you can maybe tell, I am a big fan of irises, and this is one of several designs I have that feature this favourite flower.

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.
