Woodcut print like a photo Foto-HANGA
Ukiyo-e is still popular all over the world for interior woodcut prints, and
in the early Showa period,it pioneered a new genre called Shin-HANGA and
is currently being re-evaluated.
Continuing the woodcut technique of ukiyo-e, it will be printed like a photo.
We created a new woodcut print work with a carver: Mr. Kitamura.
FOTO-Photograph in German (because it is also said to be the etymology
of the woodcut printing tool "Baren")
