These will be provided without cuts. If you would prefer these to be cut on the edges so you can display them as they originally were, please contact us after placing your order.
We were unable to fully repair these images, so there are very visible amounts of damage, mainly on the edges where these were folded. Some colors also were not uniform for these prints, which was sometimes in error (wood panel at the top of the second print), but sometimes the color different is simply due to inks being inconsistent throughout the process.
When originally printed, this was Oban sized, which is about 15" by 10"/38cm x 25cm.
Each piece is printed on demand. Various options of paper and sizes can be selected, but the standard option is printed using archival-quality inks on archival-quality Awagami Kozo Thick White Japanese paper (washi/和紙), in A4 size. With this print at this size, our top-of-the-line commercial inkjet printer prints at around 700 dpi, with A3+ being around 400 dpi and A2 being about 300 dpi.
The Awagami Bizan papers have deckled edges, so printing options are limited. Awagami Bizan Handmade Thick 300gsm washi is unavailable in A4. When selecting Aiban and Oban sizes, these papers are printed in those sizes but on A3+ (13" x 19") paper, so there will be large, white borders.
The colors have been modified to bring back some vibrancy, so these appear more like they did back when they were originally printed in the 1900s. Small amounts of editing may be done on these prints to remove damages that have appeared over the decades, but our goal is to share a broad range of prints true to how they looked when first printed.
No frame is included. The frames in the images are for illustrative purposes only. If you frame this print, please use a cover that protects against UV rays.
A sheet of archival tissue paper is placed on top of each print for protection. Please store your prints with these archival tissue papers in order to protect each print and increase longevity.
