A rare and visually captivating piece of mid-century Japanese art history. This vintage lithograph postcard was published in the 1940s to commemorate the 8th Japan Fine Arts Exhibition (Nihon Bijutsu Tenrankai / Nitten), one of the country's most prestigious competitive art institutions. The postcard features a beautiful Nihonga painting by artist Yoshida Tokoku (吉田登穀) titled simply "Flowers" (花).
The composition showcases a stunning contrast between soft, blooming peonies and the sharp, archaic geometry of a traditional three-legged bronze ritual vessel.
Sourced directly from Japan, the postcard has been meticulously preserved and custom-mounted in a new, high-quality natural wood frame with an oversized cream mat board. This elevated styling bridges historical Japanese ephemera with crisp, modern interior design.
