A peaceful space created by the “Sasanqua flower path” where you can feel the four seasons.
The "Seasonal Woodblock Prints" series can be enjoyed as decorations on your table.
As you walk along the path filled with blooming sasanqua flowers while humming "The path where the sasanqua flowers bloomed," you will be reminded of the warm winter scenery of your breath.
Woodblock print finish that conveys the warmth of handiwork
The depth and overlap of colors can only be felt through the traditional technique of carefully printing one color at a time on washi paper. The more you look at it, the more it tastes, adding dignity and warmth to the entire space.
The size is slightly larger than a postcard. The perfect size for small corners such as a study, entryway, or tabletop, so you can easily display it.

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.
