"Embracing Tradition: A Journey through New Year Cards" Step into a world of art and tradition as we explore the captivating realm of New Year cards. From the enchanting Mystical Bird (Karyobinga) by Hokusai to the Gentleman romancing Lady. Card, each piece tells its own unique story. Transport yourself back to 1820-33 with Hokusai's masterpiece, where the mystical bird takes flight, symbolizing hope and renewal for the coming year. Feel your heart flutter as you witness a gentleman wooing his lady in vibrant chromolitho hues, capturing a moment of romance that transcends time. Marvel at Kamata Gensen's New Year Gift from 1863, an exquisite creation that embodies gratitude and goodwill. Catherine Greenaway's Valentine from 1876 evokes feelings of love and affection, reminding us to cherish our relationships during this festive season. Raise your glass to Hans Kalmsteiner's Cheers 1911 (Prosit), celebrating joyous moments shared with loved ones. William Grant Still's Holiday card from 1937 offers a glimpse into history while leaving us curious about its mysterious creator. Delight in the whimsy of Robins and Chicks gazing at a smiling plum pudding or a child perched on a man's shoulders collecting mistletoe - both charming scenes captured on chromolitho cards. Picture yourself sitting serenely on a riverbank like the elegant lady depicted in another chromolitho gem. Admire nature’s beauty through Seasonal Flowers or revel in simple pleasures with Finch with Corn – these New Year cards remind us to appreciate life’s little wonders. And who can resist chuckling at the playful Clown and Donkey being pulled in their cart? As we bid farewell to one year and welcome another, let these remarkable artworks inspire us to embrace tradition while cherishing new beginnings.
