Miyakodori is a Tokyo-based print shop led by Takashi Kashiwagi.
His great-grandfather was also a print-maker, and was involved in the Shin-Hanga movement around the turn of the century to revitalize ukiyo-e (woodblock prints).
The source illustration by Shinji Tsuchimochi: “Ginza at Night” (2019)For their first laser-cut woodblock print, Miyakodori has teamed up with illustrator Shinji Tsuchimochi, an artist heavily influenced by ukiyo-e and who created 100 View of Tokyo as an homage to the art form.
Tsuchimochi created “Ginza at Night,” an illustration of one of Tokyo’s most iconic neighborhoods as it glistens in the rain.
