The postcards is based on a very scarce ukiyo-e woodblock print “Ai to Shiro” by Scottish artist Elizabeth Keith

Collotype is an interesting fusion between French and Japanese discoveries. The printing process was discovered in France, about 150 years ago. It was a new style of printing that combines photography and printmaking and the results are one-of-a-kind. BENRIDO was established in 1887 in Kyoto, where they have been specializing in Collotype printing since 1905. With over a century of experience in the craft, they are one of the very few Collotype studios left, and the world???s only one that produces full-color photographic Collotype prints. They have won several awards and recognitions and have been responsible for many big art works and projects in Japan and abroad.

 

Ohara Koson (1877 to 1945)

Born in Ishikawa Prefecture and studied under Suzuki Kason. It is said that he started woodblock prints for export at the recommendation of Fenollosa, and produced many flower and bird prints. Realistic works are highly evaluated overseas, and many of them are in the collections of museums in Europe and the United States.
