We are very excited to finally be able to announce the launch of a new landscape series, the first work featuring Tsukuda, a neighborhood in the east of Tokyo known for its contrasting architecture of the old and the modern. The title Tsukuda ni Nokoru Edo no Omokage translates to “the vestiges of Edo in Tsukuda” - the word omokage (vestige) refers to the reflection on the river’s surface, that has continued to exist to this day, despite the fact that other things may have evolved or disappeared over time.

When we trace back the history of ukiyo-e, we can see that there have been many foreign ukiyo-e artists such as Paul Jacoulet, Elizabeth Keith, and Noël Nouet who created important shin-hanga works. We decided to follow this path in history and welcome Polish artist Mateusz Urbanowicz as the illustrator for this new Tsukuda landscape.

We will be taking pre-orders until August 16; we will be offering a special discount of 15%, only applicable during these three weeks so don't miss your chance. Please click here for more details.
