About the material
The woodblock prints are made using white washi paper with a smooth surface. It is a material suitable for woodblock prints as it has good color and durability.
It is drawn using a traditional printing technique called ``handrail woodblock print'', in which a pattern carved into wood is colored onto paper one color at a time.
Woodblock print artist Yuko Harada
The sixth generation of Takenaka woodblock printing for handrails.
I create works that utilize the skills and sensibilities I have honed as a craftsman, and I also design Takezasado's original products as an artist.
His main work is a continuous style similar to textile patterns, and he offers a wide range of designs, including not only woodblock prints but also illustrations and fabric developments.
It has been featured in many media outlets and is pioneering a new field of woodblock prints.

About the brand “Takezasado”
Takenaka Woodblock was founded in Kyoto in 1891, and for over 130 years has inherited a variety of Kyoto print techniques from Japanese painting reproductions to commercial printing.
The current owner, Seihachi Takenaka, researches old techniques and passes them on to younger generations, while the fifth generation, Kenji Takenaka, establishes Takezasado, creating new work and selling woodblock prints and paper stationery at the store.
The sixth generation, Yuko Harada, gained popularity for her designs that combined tradition and modernity, and Takezasado grew.
Currently, we are working on product packaging that utilizes woodblock prints and the restoration of old prints, and are constantly pursuing new possibilities.
