In celebration of Mother’s Day the Ronin Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of 24 woodblock prints by Miyagawa Shuntei depicting children at play. Whether frolicking by the sea, playing marbles, bouncing a ball or stringing garlands of flowers, the amusements and joys of children are universal and always heartwarming. All the prints are in excellent condition and have been specially priced for Mother’s Day. Please let us know if you would like the print gift wrapped with an original origami decoration.

The prints, dating from the 1840’s, depict life in and around Edo or today’s Tokyo, literally translated as Eastern Capital. They show the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded the city in every conceivable condition: in moonlight, during rain, snow, spring and summer. They are a wonderful view of a time gone by, of a place for all seasons, an image of a floating world.

Ronin Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Japanese Folk Tale Prints by Kunio Iizuka. All of the prints are based on famous Japanese fairytales by the beloved Showa era writer Kenji Miyazawa. These prints were made to commemorated the 100th anniversary of Kenji’s birth. They are playful, whimsical, bold and commanding.
