Picture of Church Ukiyo-e

Origin Story

Once, there was a young woman who lived in a small village by the sea. She was very religious and liked to go to church every Sunday to pray and reflect. One day, she discovered a magnificent church ukiyo-e created by Utagawa. She was immediately captivated by the artist's unique style and vibrant colors. The young woman couldn't resist going to see the painting in person and she was even more impressed by what she saw. When she looked closely at the painting, she realized that the motif depicting the facade of the church was exactly where she went to pray every Sunday. This discovery filled her heart with joy and hope because she knew that God was sending her a sign to remind her of her unshakable faith in Him. Since that day, the young woman has never missed a single church service as if this ukiyo-e was her personal reminder of the power and mystery of God in her daily life.
