Production
Free shipping worldwide, arrives in 5–10 business days.
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
Returns & Our Guarantee
Every piece is made to order just for you, so we can't accept returns for change of mind. But you're fully covered: if your piece arrives damaged, defective, or isn't what you ordered, we'll replace it free or refund you in full — and you won't need to ship it back.
Rostam rides out into a valley under snow, drawn in the language of the Japanese woodblock landscape. He sits Rakhsh in scale armor and a red cloak, plume up, at the right edge of a wide composition; ahead of him two stone bridges cross a turquoise river, a small brick pavilion stands on the far bank, and rank on rank of white peaks close the distance.
- Rostam on the white stallion Rakhsh, the red cloak the only strong color in the picture
- Two arched stone bridges over a turquoise river, one with a lone figure standing on it
- A brick pavilion set into the snow on the left bank
- Snow peaks receding in soft graded washes, in the manner of shin-hanga rather than Edo ukiyo-e
- A cool palette of white, slate, teal and sage under a pale coral sky
This is the beginning of the Haft Khan, the seven labours Rostam passes on the way to Mazandaran. The horse gets the first one to himself: Rostam sleeps in a reed bed and Rakhsh kills a lion over him without waking him. Where Ferdowsi's Mazandaran actually is has never been settled — it reads as a country of demons rather than the Caspian province that carries the name today.
Perfect for
- Living rooms and bedrooms wanting a calm, wide landscape
- Collectors of Japanese woodblock prints
- Readers of the Shahnameh and of epic
- Housewarming and literature-lover gifts
