Spending time with a world-famous printmaking craftsman while creating your own handmade souvenir is one of the best experiences you can have in Tokyo.
ukiyo-e
The works of Hokusai and others, admired for more than a century, lend a touch of class to your appreciation of a cold one.
The ever-growing series of traditional artworks is grabbing everyone’s attention for its beauty and humour.
Ukiyo-e master Hokusai’s iconic seascape is now appearing on eligible motor vehicles in the capital.
It’s like they knew exactly which beloved characters were missing in our hearts and our collections.
Mario, Pokémon, Link, Star Fox and more are brought to life through the same process used 200 years ago.
Pokémon look more distinguished than ever in authentic ukiyo-e that pay homage to a pair of feudal Japan’s greatest artists.
The menswear line is inspired by kimono designs and features (tasteful) recreations of famous erotic woodblock prints.
A number of impressive details hidden within the image has made fans go crazy for this limited-edition print.
A collection of playful prints from over 200 years ago prove that Japan’s highly-refined sense of cute has a very long history indeed.
The little known daughter of ukiyo-e legend Hokusai is the main character in this animated featured film.
One of the most beloved characters in manga and anime history is now available as an ukiyo-e woodblock print!
When Japanese travelers go abroad, they’ll be taking some of the country’s most famous and beautiful examples of woodblock print artwork with them.
Two all-American heroes blend seamlessly with two legendary Japanese characters in this new take on a classic ukiyo-e print from the 1800s.
Finding out you can’t eat soba stinks — but at least this is the coolest way to get bad news!
