About our cover art

Every post on the Flowershow blog wears a Japanese bird-and-flower woodblock print from the public domain.

Every post on the Flowershow blog wears a Japanese bird-and-flower print, mostly from Katsushika Hokusai's Large Flowers series and Utagawa Hiroshige's kachō-e (bird-and-flower pictures), made in the 1820s to 1850s. Flowers on show felt right for a tool that puts your notes on show.

All the prints are in the public domain. Most come from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access collection, with others from the Rijksmuseum and Wikimedia Commons. We cropped them to fit the cover format.
