Resumen del libro
  • 25 greeting cards with envelopes featuring a selection of images from Japanese ukiyo-e prints

  • The prints featured here have been chosen to reflect the six great themes of the floating world – theatre, tradition, nature, landscape, town life and feminine beauty
  • Presented in a beautifully bound Japanese-style box with traditional fastening
