One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.59Ryogoku Bridge and Okawabata (large riverbank)

Frames for reproduction ukiyo-e

These simple yet stylish deep brown wooden frames blend perfectly into any interior.

Since ukiyo-e have unusual aspect ratios, putting them in off-the-shelf frames often results in an unnatural balance between the margins and the print. Our special ukiyo-e frames allow you to display your prints beautifully as soon as they arrive.

These frames can be used vertically or horizontally by simply repositioning the cord, making it easy to display different prints. And since they use light yet durable acrylic instead of glass, transportation is a stress-free experience.
