To celebrate Takaoka Art Museum’s current exhibition, Memories of Beauty: Reviving National Treasures, the skilled artisans of Benrido Atelier introduce the art of Collotype to tomorrow’s generation .
Using glass-plate negatives which illustrate well-known artworks such as ukiyo-e artist Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga, commonly nicknamed Chōjū-giga from Kōzan-ji temple in Kyoto, participants took part in a hands-on experience creating their own collotype prints of these famous and well-loved works of art.
Having held a variety of collotype workshops over the years in Japan and internationally such as at Switzerland’s artgenève, Benrido has aimed to reach a wide array of audiences by providing an open and fun avenue for individuals of all ages to engage with the process of collotype!
