The Whispers of Edo Collection
These stunning woodblock prints are called Ukiyo or pictures of the floating world. "Living only for the moment, savouring the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms, and the maple leaves, singing songs, drinking sake, and diverting oneself just in floating, unconcerned by the prospect of imminent poverty, buoyant and carefree, like a gourd carried along with the river current: this is what we call ukiyo."
In the mid eighteen century the city of Edo (Tokyo), the capital of Japan’s ruling shogunate was a flourishing metropolis. Buoyed by the economic growth, the chōnin class (merchants, craftsmen and workers) began to indulge in and patronise the world of arts and entertainment. The term ukiyo ("floating world") came to describe this hedonistic lifestyle.
The people of Edo, from pleasure seekers to teahouse beauties, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, and star-crossed lovers, became celebrities of this new world, their images celebrated in colorful woodblock prints.
These prints are printed on a fine quality ivory paper.
These are reproductions of old illustrations & in most cases will have the same imperfections as the original.

- Handling: When handling art prints, always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges on the surface. If possible, use gloves to prevent oils from your skin transferring onto the print.
- Framing: To protect art prints from dust, moisture, and physical damage, consider framing them behind glass or acrylic.
- Display: Avoid displaying art prints in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and deterioration of the colors. Choose a location away from windows or areas with fluctuating temperature and humidity levels.
- Cleaning: If your art print gets dusty, gently dust it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the print, as they may cause damage to the paper or ink.
- Storage: If you need to store art prints for an extended period, store them flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Folding or Rolling: Never fold or roll art prints, as this can cause creases, tears, or permanent damage to the paper and ink. Always store them flat or in a rigid, protective container designed for artwork.
- Air Circulation: In humid environments, ensure adequate ventilation in the room where prints are displayed or stored to prevent moisture buildup. Consider using dehumidifiers or moisture-absorbing products like silica gel packets to maintain optimal conditions.
