About Tsuchiya Kôitsu
About the Artwork
Der schwimmende Pavillon in Katada im Schnee zeigt den berühmten Ukimido-Schrein, der in winterlicher Stille aus dem Biwa-See aufragt — ein Motiv, dem Kôitsu in seiner späteren Schaffensphase immer wieder begegnete, als er sich von Kriegsbildern hin zu Landschaften kontemplativer Schönheit wandte. Schnee dämpft die Palette zu Blaugrau und Weiß, während ein einzelner warmer Schimmer aus der Laterne des Pavillons die kalte Luft durchschneidet. Die Komposition ist klar und präzise ausbalanciert: Dunkle Kiefernäste rahmen die oberen Ecken, das gefrorene Wasser spiegelt das Bauwerk, und der leere Himmel darüber verleiht dem Bild eine fast meditative Stille. Shin-Hanga von leiser, eindringlicher Kraft.
Dieser archivfeste Fine-Art-Druck erfasst Kôitsus subtile Blauabstufungen, die weiche Textur des Schnees und das zarte Laternenlicht mit der Treue und Linienpräzision, die seine Holzschnitt-Meisterschaft verlangt.
How to Display Your Print
Go bigger than you think — Artwork should span roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. If you’re debating between two sizes, always choose the larger one.
Hang at eye level — The centre of your print should sit around 145–150 cm from the floor. Most people hang art too high — it ends up floating on the wall.
Contrast beats matching — You don’t need to match your wall colour exactly. A deep-toned print on a light wall, or a bold piece in a neutral room, often looks far more interesting than a perfect colour match.
Avoid direct sunlight — Even archival inks fade over time in strong sun. Indirect natural light or warm ambient lighting will keep your print looking its best for years to come.

Ready to hangEvery frame comes with two hooks
We started at the Berlin markets. Now we ship art to homes across Europe.
We started with a table and a handful of prints. Curious, a little naive, and completely obsessed with finding art worth hanging. Every piece we sell, we're proud to put our name on.

Questions? We're here.
Any questions? Our team in Berlin is always here to help.
What paper and printing process do you use?
We print exclusively on museum-grade fine art paper from Ilford / Canon using archival pigment inks. Every print is colour-calibrated and fade-resistant for 100+ years.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders are produced and dispatched within 2–3 business days. Delivery within Germany takes 1–2 days; international orders typically arrive within 5–10 business days.
Can I return my order?
Yes — we offer 30-day hassle-free returns on all prints. If your print arrives damaged or there is a quality issue, we will replace it free of charge.
How does the quality compare to other stores?
At Kuriosis, quality comes first. While many stores focus on keeping production costs as low as possible and outsource their production, we choose a different approach.
Our art prints are produced with ultra-fine detail and a rich, carefully calibrated colour range, using high-quality frames and some of the best printers currently on the market.
Every piece is produced in our Berlin studio, which means we keep the entire process under our own control from start to finish. The result is premium prints designed to retain its beauty over time.
Should I choose an art print or a streched canvas?
Our art prints are available on premium heavyweight fine art paper or premium matte canvas, giving you the freedom to choose the material that best suits your space and style. Both options offer exceptional detail, clarity, and a beautifully refined finish. Our paper prints are presented in high-quality frames with acrylic glass, creating a clean and classic look, although a small amount of light reflection is always possible.
Our stretched canvas prints offer a more elevated, gallery-style appearance. Each artwork is printed on textured cotton canvas and finished with an elegant floating frame, adding depth, character, and a more sophisticated presence on the wall. As there is no glass cover, there is no reflection, making canvas an excellent choice for a softer and more premium overall look.
