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.


Originally, the "Autumn Scenery Mountain Water Map" and "Winter Landscape Map" were introduced to the Manshuin Temple in Kyoto as "Summer and Winter Mountain Water". It is also considered to be two of the four width pairs of the Four Seasons Mountain and Water Diagram. Sesshu (1420-1506) studied a variety of styles, including Zhou Wen and Rusetsu, Southern Song masters, and the Ming Dynasty's Zhe school, but the stable composition and powerful brushwork of both paintings show Sesshu's unique style.
