About our products

For woodblock prints, we use white washi paper with a smooth surface. It is a good material for woodblock prints because of its good coloring and durability. 

It is painted using the traditional printing technique of "hand-printed woodblock prints," in which the pattern carved into the wood is colored on the paper one color at a time.

He creates works utilizing the skills and sensitivity he honed as a craftsman, and also designs Takezasa-do's original products as an artist.

His style is mainly sequential, like textile patterns, and he offers a wide range of designs, not only woodblock prints, but also illustrations and fabric developments.
