About the Cover
Bijutsukai and Shin Bijutsukai are craft design books published during the Meiji period (1868–1912). Both contain beautiful designs created by various Japanese painters and designers. This collection of multicolored woodblock print designs was published by Unsodo, a Kyoto-based art publishing company and the only publisher of hand-printed woodblock books in Japan.
This HON book is created with the craft design selected from Bijutsukai. The year 2025 is foil-pressed in subdued gold.
Red, blue, white, yellow, green, and purple. The bright stripes catch your eye.
The combination of contrasting colors and shapes of the vivid, straight rainbows and the pure white, softly curved mountains is pleasing to the eye and something you can always enjoy. Looking closely, you will find the irregular widths and fluctuating borders heartwarming. The depth of the design makes it seem like a fairy tale scene.
It is a fascinating design created more than 100 years ago. Keep it at your side and enjoy the tale it tells.
