Nanten Berries in Snow

"Nanten Berries in Snow" is a refined reproduction art print from Shiki Nishiki, the renowned collection by Kyoto-based artist Shimomura Gyokukou (1878–1926). Esteemed both as preliminary designs for traditional crafts and as standalone decorative artworks, this series beautifully captures Japan’s seasonal beauty with an eye for unique visual expression.

Supervised by master artist Kamisaka Sekka, this piece showcases a charming winter scene where white snow delicately rests on bright red nanten berries. What makes this work especially fascinating is the way the snow is depicted — not as soft curves, but as angular, dot-like shapes reminiscent of contemporary pixel art. The diamond-shaped green leaves and the contrast of crisp white, vivid red, rich green, and deep navy blue background create a bold and visually playful composition.

Printed on 290gsm Bamboo Fine Art Paper made from 90% eco-friendly bamboo fibers, this fine art reproduction offers a warm natural white finish and soft, organic texture. A perfect accent for Japandi interiors, or for art lovers drawn to Japanese seasonal art, botanical motifs, and early examples of graphic patterning, this print bridges classic elegance with modern visual charm.
