ABOUT DESIGN
"Wain" was popular in the free spirit of the Edo period,
An art that was drawn and loved by many ukiyo-e artists.
Also called “Shunga”.
Its origins date back to the Muromachi period, when ``Makura-e'' and risque items were also called ``Kie-e.''
It is also said that during the Sengoku period, it was carried on the body as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.
It was also called "Katsue".

ABOUT HAND PRINT
``Hand-printing'' is a traditional manufacturing method in which each piece is carefully printed by hand by skilled craftsmen using a silk screen printing plate.
One plate is made and printed for each color,
The pattern is formed by layering them.
Each color is printed once, so when the number of colors increases, it is a time-consuming process where the same area is printed over and over again.
This design uses six colors, and by changing the plate one color at a time and applying the colors six times back and forth, it creates a deep and atmospheric expression.
Once the printing is complete, it is steamed to bring out the color.
After that, wash it once with water and dry it.
Normally cylinder drying is used, but in order to preserve the soft texture, we dry it in the sun.
