This print is inspired by Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that has had a strong influence on us. The term Ukiyo-e (浮世絵) translates as 'picture[s] of the floating world' and includes famous woodblock prints such as Hokusai’s “The Great Wave.”

We are inspired by this era not only stylistically but also by the power and reach one image can have, making art accessible to everyday people. In Edo Japan, it is said that you could buy an Ukiyo-e masterpiece for the price of a bowl of noodles, making it affordable for common city dwellers and the merchant class to decorate their homes. 

We wanted to pay homage to this approach, and create an image that tells this story. Here the crane's beaks make up a pair of chopsticks linked to a universe within a pond, within a vessel. Everything is connected within this little floating world.

The price is determined by the cost of a bowl of noodles. We took a reference from one of our favourite restaurants Ippudo Ramen where the delicious Akamaru Special is $30.

We have turned to Letterpress Printing to produce this unique print, and to stay true to its woodblock origins it is stamped with a hand carved block made from Jelutong wood.
