A sense of the season created by the “blowing” that makes you feel the depth of autumn
The golden wind carries the seasons.
Draw an autumn pattern created by blown-in leaves.
This series depicts motifs unique to Kyoto based on the concept of "decorating daily life in Kyoto."
“Color with life” created by the handiwork of woodblock prints
The traditional woodblock printing technique, in which each color is carefully overprinted, creates a multilayered and deep color tone, allowing you to enjoy the unique texture that cannot be achieved with printing.
The size is slightly larger than a postcard, so it will look great no matter where you place it, such as on a tabletop, in the living room, in the entryway, or in the hallway. Its compact size makes it perfect for seasonal replacements.
[Recommended for these people]
・People who want to incorporate relaxation into their busy daily lives
・Those who want to incorporate small, hand-crafted art into their daily lives
・People who want to enjoy a full-fledged “life with nature” even in a small space
If you display it in your room, it will create a relaxing space where you can feel the slow rhythm of nature. Every time you look at it, enjoy a rich time as if a little autumn is falling in your room.
Also makes a memorable “seasonal gift”
Autumn scenes convey the message of ``fruitfulness'' and ``the changing seasons.'' It's easy to choose as a housewarming gift, moving gift, or seasonal greeting, and is perfect as a gift that will touch the recipient's heart.
About the product
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.

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.
