Ukiyo-e: a collection of artworks with a story to preserve
Miriaci's Ukiyo-e collection brings together prints by masters of the Edo period such as Kitagawa Utamaro, Kubo Shunman, and Utagawa Kunisada, alongside Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, the last great interpreter of the tradition, and illustrated albums by Imao Keinen, Shimizu Seifū, Tsurusawa Tansaku, Yamashita Hakuba, and Nakayasu Shinzaburō. The collection is completed by plates by George Ashdown Audsley and Hugo Gerhard Ströhl, European scholars who, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, catalogued Japan's decorative motifs and coats of arms. The term ukiyo-e literally means "pictures of the floating world": scenes of everyday life, theater, and nature captured with an essential line that would profoundly influence Western art in the late nineteenth century. Bringing one of these prints into your home means preserving that perspective, not filling an empty space.
Crafted to last
Each Framed Art Print is made with fine art paper, then finished and framed by hand in Italy. We do not chase an immediate effect: we seek a result that remains faithful to the original colors over time, because a work meant to be passed down deserves a foundation as solid as the story it tells.

An artwork, not just a decoration
A print does not merely fill a wall: it carries a theme, an era, and a story that continues to speak to those who look at it. The ukiyo-e artworks curated by Miriaci remain faithful to this principle — pieces chosen for their meaning before their aesthetic appeal.
Aesthetics fade. Meaning remains.
