Did You Know?

Pillar prints, or hashira-e (柱絵), are long and narrow Japanese woodblock prints originally intended to decorate wooden pillars.
A vertically oriented woodblock print in a tall, narrow format depicts a woman with light skin tone standing in falling snow. Facing our right with eyes downcast, she holds a yellow and green striped umbrella. She wears a pink kimono patterned with stars and birds over a green and yellow diamond-patterned belt. White flecks scatter against a muted gray background, while Japanese calligraphy and a red seal mark the bottom.
