Description  
Yoroboshi or "The Beggar Monk" (1915) was made by colored ink and gold leaf on beautiful paper. As part of the "Important Cultural Property by the Agency for Cultural Affairs" it is now displayed in the Tokyo National Museum. The painting is based on a scene in a Noh (Japanese theater) play whereby a blink monk has been wrongfully accused of a crime. Abandoned by family and friends, he lonesomely wanders the street - however, although being blind, he is becoming one with the universe and experience a higher level of "seeing" what is around him.

The Benrido Atelier is a COLLOTYPE workshop based in Kyoto, Japan and has mastered the art style since 1887. Their beautiful designs make for amazing Japanese gifts, decorations and souvenirs. The printing requires the best materials, with quality ink and handmade Japanese washi paper, and experienced craftsmen are the only ones able to properly design the prints - Each individual step requires experience and eye for detail to create beautiful tones and to properly balance the pigment.
