Winter Willows (1937) by Koitsu Tsuchiya

Snowfall by the Willow Pond

Snow weighs down the willow branches as a woman in a kimono pauses with her umbrella beside a still, frozen pond, while another figure crosses the bridge behind. This Japanese woodblock print from 1937 by Koitsu Tsuchiya makes a peaceful winter card for the festive season, a winter birthday or simply to say hello.

Koitsu, born in 1870, was known for his subtle use of light and shadow, and the willow is a symbol of grace and strength. Find more in our winter cards collection.
