"Flowering Cherry and Autumn Maples with Poem Slip Poster
"Flowering Cherry and Autumn Maples with Poem Slips" by Tosa Mitsuoki, 1654/81
In this exquisite artwork, Japanese aristocrats engage in the elegant custom of reciting classical poetry while admiring spring and autumn foliage. Premier court painter Tosa Mitsuoki captures the fleeting beauty of the seasons, reflecting the melancholic hours after the courtiers' departure. One screen shows a blooming cherry tree, while the other displays vibrant red and gold maple leaves. Poems on slips of paper, called tanzaku, hang from the branches, bearing traces of human presence. The screens were possibly commissioned by or gifted to Tofukumon'in, a daughter of the Tokugawa shogun, and the emperor Gomizunoo. In an era marked by increasing shogunate control, this royal couple encouraged a renaissance of courtly taste, reminiscent of early-mediaeval aristocratic life.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it.
I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
