The original

“Hamamatsu, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Tokaido gojusan tsugi)," also known as the Tokaido with Poem (Kyoka iri Tokaido)” by Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797–1858), c. 1837/42, is in the public domain. The image comes from the Art Institute of Chicago, which shares it under CC0 (no rights reserved).

The print

Tiraj separates the woodblock print into three risograph drums, blue, bright red and yellow, with riso grain and a slight misregistration between the layers. Like the original woodblock, the picture is built from flat layers of ink.

The paper tone is part of the artwork; print on white matte paper. The cream sheet and riso grain are printed into the file.

Printing tips

Use heavyweight white matte paper (200 gsm or more). Print at 100% / actual size, not 'fit to page', and pick the file that matches your frame. This is a landscape artwork: all files are horizontal.
Colours can vary slightly between screens and printers.
