Woodblock Prints – A Timeless Art from Kyoto
Japanese woodblock prints (mokuhanga) reflect the refined elegance of Kyoto’s cultural heritage. Handcrafted through a traditional process involving the artist, carver, and printer, each piece captures the changing seasons, spiritual depth, and everyday beauty of Japan.
At Kyoto Handicraft Center, we offer a curated selection of prints, many of which are still hand-printed in Kyoto by skilled artisans. Serene landscapes, historic temples, and nostalgic street scenes are rendered in soft tones and precise detail.
Our collection features reproductions of iconic works by masters such as Hokusai and Hiroshige, whose timeless compositions continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
We also showcase prints by modern and contemporary artists including Kato Teruhide, known for his tranquil portrayals of Kyoto; Kasamatsu Shiro, who captured the natural beauty of Japan with poetic realism; and Kamisaka Sekka, a pioneer of modern Japanese design celebrated for his bold, decorative style.
Whether as a meaningful gift or collectible artwork, these prints offer a lasting connection to the spirit of Kyoto.
