Lithography:
Japanese lithography is a refined printing technique in which an image is carefully built up layer by layer. By using different print layers, rich deep colors, fine lines, and subtle details emerge. The technique makes it possible to create highly detailed and atmospheric images, giving Japanese lithographs an elegant and distinctive appearance.

Artist:
Ito Shinsui (1898–1972) was an influential Japanese artist, especially known for his elegant depictions of Japanese women and his refined, atmospheric style. He was an important representative of the Shin-hanga movement, in which traditional Japanese art was combined with a modern look.
