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.


Ito Jakuchu

Born in Kyoto in the 12th year of Kyoho-Kansei (1716-1800). He studied the Kano school while he was a blue-backed fish wholesaler in the family business, but at the age of 39 he handed over his family to his younger brother and began a life devoted to painting. While studying the ancient paintings of the former Ming and the Rimpa school of Japanese and Chinese, he worked on the sketches of animals and plants, and was particularly good at painting chickens. He was called a "fantastic painter" because of his unique style of painting. His masterpiece is "Ayae Doue".
