"Deeply Hidden Love" by Kitagawa Utamaro This ukiyo-e print by artist Kitagawa Utamaro is part of the "Collection of Songs on Love," depicting the emotions of a woman in love. It is a representative piece from his famous series of "ōkubi-e," or large-head portraits, showcasing his skill in rendering figures in a close-up style. The artwork features a mature woman with her hair styled in a marumage (a traditional round bun), holding a pipe.
Our postcards, based on Echizen Washi, illustrate Japanese culture using vibrant colored washi paper. The first theme is "Ukiyo-e." The term "postcard" comes from "hashigaki," meaning "edge writing." Originally, it referred to written notes or memos on small pieces of paper.
