UKIYO-E RE-EDITED

浮世絵 再編集版

描かずに、編集する。 Source prints are public-domain works from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Open Access). ApLink Design re-edits through cropping, patterning, recoloring, and plate separation—never by drawing on the original.

How we re-edit

The original was made from several blocks: a key block for the lines and one block for each color. We separate the image back into those layers, following the way it was carved. We add nothing that is not in the original. The colors are reprinted after a modern woodblock reproduction of the print.

Just as we add no stroke to the original, we keep what is already good about your site.

We bring the same editorial eye to websites for artists and galleries.
