Adachi’s Ukiyo-e Prints
Over 1,200 works of Ukiyo-e reproductions
Created by Adachi’s highly skilled artisans
The Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints has made full use of woodcut printing techniques passed down from the Edo Period to create reproductions of some 1,200 works of ukiyo-e to date. The vivid colors and warm textures of the prints are produced by rubbing water-based pigments into washi paper in the same process that was used in the Edo Period. We have a wide selection of works to choose from for yourself or as a gift for someone special.
