Merry Christmas, from Old Japan

On a snowy night, Santa Claus carries his sack through a snow-covered Japanese garden, past a softly lit pavilion and a still pond, with “Merry Christmas” written in English and Japanese above. This Japanese Christmas card from around 1953 captures the moment when Western Christmas traditions were arriving in Japan.

A peaceful and unusual Christmas card for lovers of Japanese art and woodblock prints. Find more festive designs in our Christmas cards collection.
