This elegant box set invites readers into the heart of Japan's most poetic season through a curated collection of woodblock prints by the great masters.

The main volume in this beautiful gift book showcases a selection of prints that capture Hanami (the appreciation of the fleeting wonder of spring): blossoming cherry trees, riverside picnics, moonlit gardens, and the quiet rituals of seasonal change.

The works unfold in a striking accordion format, allowing readers to experience them as immersive, panoramic compositions. Alongside this visual journey, a separate booklet by Japan scholar Jocelyn Bouquillard provides insightful background on each image.

Her commentary illuminates the symbolism, historical context, and enduring cultural meanings of spring in Japanese life and art.

  • A tribute to the elegance and emotional resonance of Japanese printmaking.
  • Presented as a luxurious slipcased set: a booklet and striking accordion fold.
  • Famous works by Hiroshige, Hokusai, Yoshitoshi, Kyōsai and Kunisada are featured.
  • Pairs timeless art with expert critique in a format designed for reflection and appreciation.
  • Perfect for lovers of Japanese aesthetics or anyone drawn to the passing beauty of nature.
