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.


Born in Uwajima City in 1949 and graduated from Waseda University Faculty of Political Science and Economics in 1973, Masaki became a photographer after working at Maruzen Co., Ltd. With the theme of rediscovering the beauty of Japan, he presents his works overseas and works as a writer.

The Kyoto works shot for this book are breathtaking, beautiful scenery, stunning simplicity and restrained architecture. Fragments of nature and man-made artifacts that have been imaged are preserved by being imaged in the play of light and shadow that make up a photograph. Because the town of Kyoto is attracted to the capture network of history, memory, and beauty, where trapping is an honor, as revealed by Hiroshi Masaki's work in its accumulated overall image and exquisite details.
