It is said that in an average day,
a person will see close to 3,000 things containing printed text.
To make someone stop and look again,
we need to show them something different—something unique.
People are drawn to things
they have never seen before.
So we must try things
that have never been tried before.
Printing should not be a simple repetition of the same old processes.
We must find new ways of expressing our world
that move us and touch our hearts.
We will create things that stop people in their tracks,
and make them feel something that they have never felt before
—something they will never forget.
Because printing that is soon forgotten
is the same as a blank page.
Our creativity knows no limit.
Limitless creativity and expressive capabilities forged by our burning desire to take on any challenge. Pouring our heart and soul into our works. The diversity that comes from our ability to plan, to execute, to create, and to engineer at the highest levels. These are our proud strengths, our ultimate weapons, and our precious assets. We do what no-one has done before. We find new ways of expressing our world.
A one-stop solution from image processing
to platemaking and printing
Our services include so much more than simply receiving a manuscript, printing it nicely, and delivering it to you. Our goal is to use the latest printing technologies and monitor market trends so that we can provide you with products that meet your real needs. Image restoration, image composition, color conversion--these and other photo retouching techniques represent our most creative works. As the world has transformed fully from analog to digital, we have built a knowledge base that is second to none. It is this deep well of knowledge and experience that allows us to maintain our excellent reputation in the printing industry—a field known for its exacting standards. From fine art and commercial printing—where subtleties of color and texture can make or break a piece of work—to large-size color prints, on-demand printing, and special processing. We aim for perfection in all our works and across all processes.
Special printing, special processing,
and other creative solutions
We are always looking around us to see how the world is changing, what kind of new printing technologies and special processing techniques are emerging, and what new materials are available. Whether you are looking for strong customer appeal, a good cost performance, or just something a little bit different, we will propose a solution that meets your needs. Maybe you have been told by another company that what you want is “too hard”? For us, nothing is too hard. We have the experience, creativity, and drive to work with you and create a product that you are happy with.
KOKODÉ KAMIGAMI exhibition
We were invited to be part of the KOKODÉ KAMIGAMI exhibition by French photographer Philippe Marinig and ukiyo-e print artist Daimon Kinoshita. The KOKODÉ KAMIGAMI exhibition is being held at the Palazzo Morosini, an historic palace in Venice, Italy, during the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017. The exhibition focuses on the spirit of sumo, Japan’s national sport. With this exhibition, the artists explore the mystique that surrounds sumo—an interest shared by both Philippe Marinig, who spend close to ten years in Japan, and Daimon Kinoshita. We worked with Takeo Co., Ltd., to print the works on Japanese paper.
