Teahouse Waitress - Yashima Gakutei Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do. Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. 

High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones.

The matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural.

Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine, finished with ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision. Its natural white surface catches light and color with striking clarity.

A precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect.

Your choice of a black, white or natural frame: all made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Hanami crowds will arrive any minute. Gakutei knows it, and so does she. This Edo teahouse girl has stepped out from the reed blinds to steady the yellow comb in her shimada topknot, eyes cocked at the stall's own advertisement. Its kana swings on white paper. She is the real billboard.

Around 1840 Yashima Gakutei drew this ukiyo-e beauty for the carvers' mountain-cherry blocks, just as Tenpō officials readied their crackdown on luxury. Customers still came for the face.

Sakura pile overhead in rose and cream. Sepia bark climbs in wavy grain. Across the water a brick-red hall and pine clumps crown the far shore. Coral clouds of flat pigment slice the 19th-century scene in two.

Her obi knots rust lattice against moss green. Clacking black geta carry her pewter stripes across the celadon ground, a Prussian blue hem curling behind. Coins and gossip wait on the plain wooden bench.

Ukiyo-e adored these chaya musume, the celebrity girls of the tea stalls. This bijinga art print keeps one on your wall mid-glance, forever lingering near the empty bench under the blossoms.
