Goyo Hashiguchi
Born in Kagoshima between 1880 and 1921. Known as a book designer, he worked on designs for famous writers such as Natsume Soseki's "I am a cat", but he also devoted himself to ukiyo-e research and created his own works with a carver and printer. His representative works are "Woman Combing Hair" and "Woman in the Bathhouse".

○ What is Collotype?
Offset printing, a common printing method, expresses colors and shades with a density of small halftone dots, but collotype expresses continuous gradation, so it expresses fine details that are closer to the real thing than photographs. .
