A ready-made Japanese ukiyo-e junk journal kit of 20 printable woodblock prints by Kitagawa Utamaro, the great Edo-period master of the beauty print, made about 1790 to 1802: a geisha crossing the snow at night and another under a rainy-night umbrella, a letter read beneath a green mosquito net, silhouettes on paper shoji screens, silk weavers at the loom and the making of silk floss, a fan vendor, the teahouse beauty Okita, a mother and child, moon-festival flowers and portraits from the famous series Ten Classes of Women's Physiognomy and Beauties Compared to Flowers. Soft pastel colours, flowing kimono patterns and calligraphy cartouches make them perfect for Japanese-themed journals, collage, planners, scrapbooking, card making and wall art.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Ukiyo-e woodblock prints (20): about 8 × 12 in up to 9 × 13 in, big enough for A4 / letter prints and framing
Everything also prints smaller (A5, A6, tags, ATCs) with no loss.

Pieces included: Geisha walking through the snow at night; Woman reading a letter under a mosquito net; Geisha and attendant on a rainy night; Shadows on the shoji; Takashima Ohisa using two mirrors to see her hair; Women weaving silk cloth; A woman weaving at a hand loom; Okita of the Naniwaya teahouse, serving tea; Naniwa Okita admiring herself in a mirror (mica ground); The making of silk floss; The fan vendor; Woman holding up a parasol, from Ten Classes of Women's Physiognomy; Hanazuma reading a letter, from Beauties Compared to Flowers; Arranging flowers for the Tsukimi moon festival; Teahouse girl and servant: Snow, from Snow, Moon and Flower Beauties; Mother and child; In the kitchen (right sheet of a diptych); Two young women wrapped in yukata after a bath; Oiran, from Five Shades of Ink in the Northern Quarter; Konosumi, from Beauties of the Southern Quarter.
