純和式の畳が浮世絵の額縁になりました
Even though it is small, it is made in accordance with traditional techniques that continue from ukiyo-e, with sculptors and slasher's division of labor. The carving is carved up to an extremely delicate level equivalent to Ukiyoe.
As for the sliding, we perform multicolor rubbing similar to Ukiyo-e, we finish by 10-15 times overlapping rail.
It is a completely handcrafted traditional woodcut print that does not allow any compromise by craftsmen with advanced traditional techniques.
In addition, a special type of Washi, a handmade luxury Echizen Japanese paper was used, a "Raw Fiction Service" to maximize the beauty of woodcut prints.
This is a card-sized woodblock print with a completely new paper frame that has the three functions of standing, hanging, and sending named "Trinistyle" from the trinity specification. This new product was developed as a new style woodblock print that can be enjoyed three times at a time.
The frame is a wooden square type. Mat adopts a looking color according to each work.
In addition, the mat is cut to size according to the work, and oblique cutting that makes it look nice is given.
Although an acrylic plate for full-surface protection is also included, in order to enjoy the texture of wood prints, we will ship it without placing it on the forefront at the time of shipment at the time of shipment.
1964 Tokyo Olympics movie
This year (2020), we have created a new woodcut to commemorate the 56th Olympic Games in Tokyo. It is not a direct artistic representation of the athlete's performance or imitating the Olympic logo, but an indirect artistic work that reminds of the Olympic Games from Japanese landscape paintings. Fuji was used as a typical Japanese landscape painting. |
That one scene (about 9: 33 min at the movie)
One of the scenes from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics movie has a design that looks great. (Left figure) The torch runner running on the foot of Mt. Fuji, this scene was trimmed into an outline of the work. The details of the woodblock prints were drawn from Kawase Hasui's description of "Funatsu no Aki". | ||||

However, there was a major problem with this basic design.
The problem was that the smoke at the foot of Fuji was not seen by the torch runner, but like a steam locomotive (SL).
So we tried to change the design to avoid the problem and improve it to the original picture.
Guardrail version |
I added a guardrail to make it look like a torch runner is running. However, this still failed to look like SL. ①:Guardrail ②:Small forest |
Audience silhouette version |
Instead of guardrails, we arranged some audience silhouettes. I also added a flag waving silhouette. In addition, the small forests in the background have been removed to balance. With this improvement, the problem that appears to be SL is almost solved. ③:Audience silhouette ④:Add national flag ⑤②:Small forest has been removed |
Original picture |
As a woodblock print, we clarified the design of each color plate and completed the original. In particular on the mountain surface of Mt. Fuji, more colors than the number of boards can be expressed by the composite color of the boards. (For details, see "How to make woodblock prints.") For titles, woodcuts are used for vertical writing, and stamps are used for horizontal writing in the small version. ⑥:Horizontal writing title (Compatible Stamp) ⑦:Vertical title (woodcut) |
Contour lines and backgrounds are based on photo 1.
The color of the disc, etc. is based on photo 2
I made a design drawing based on the design.
With using traditional techniques, we then
made the woodcut.
