Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about gifts for celebrations and thank-yous.
Is a painting a welcome housewarming gift?
Our paintings are a popular choice to brighten the entryway or living room of a new home. Most feature bright flowers and landscapes that suit many tastes. If you'd like, we'll add “Happy New House!” and the family's names inside the painting, free of charge. Choose from 5 sizes and 4 frames to suit where it will hang.
Can I give my mother or wife a painting with her name and birthday added?
Yes. If you'd like, we'll add a name, birthday and message inside the painting, free of charge (up to 50 characters, in English only). With words like “Happy Birthday!”, our paintings are also chosen for milestone birthdays later in life.
Would it make a good gift for my mother's 60th birthday?
Yes. Many customers choose our paintings for a mother's 60th birthday — a special milestone in Japan called kanreki — to thank her for all the years. If you'd like, we'll add “Happy 60th Birthday!” with her name and the date inside the painting, free of charge. It becomes a keepsake she can enjoy at home for years to come.
Is it a good retirement gift for a woman?
Our paintings are chosen as a way to say thank you for many years of work. If you'd like, we'll add “Special thanks!” and the date inside the painting, free of charge. It becomes a keepsake to display at home long after retirement.
