On the plum blossom branch, a blue bird finds its perch.

Framed White Plum Blossom and Paradise Flycatcher Woodblock Print

A paradise flycatcher in deep blue and white, its long tail trailing beneath white plum blossoms against a warm red and green sky — this is Hiroshige at his most delicate. An original handmade woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), every colour hand-printed, every line hand-carved. Supplied with a high-gloss black frame and cream double mount, it arrives ready to hang.

Please note: allow 3–5 additional days for delivery on all framed prints.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

Utagawa Hiroshige’s kachō-ga (花鳥画 — flower and bird prints) are among the most admired works in the ukiyo-e tradition. The paradise flycatcher (三光鳥, sankochō) is a celebrated subject in Japanese art, prized for its extraordinary long tail and vivid plumage. The white plum blossom (白梅, shiro-ume) is one of the first flowers of the Japanese year, blooming in late winter as a symbol of resilience and the coming of spring.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a print. You are bringing a piece of Japan’s greatest artistic tradition home.

梅は寒さに咋き、鳥は枝に歌う。
Ume wa samusa ni saki, tori wa eda ni utau.
The plum blooms in the cold; the bird sings on the branch.
