This art series by illustrator Natsumi Teraoka showcases original works created exclusively for this collection using traditional letterpress printing. Ink is pressed onto paper using a plate, resulting in a warm, tactile finish where each piece carries subtle variations. The natural “indentations,” “bleeding,” and “fading” unique to letterpress give every print its own distinct character.
Designed as both artwork and display piece, each item comes packaged in a paper frame-style mount. It can be displayed on a stand or easily hung on a wall using pushpins or double-sided tape, making it a versatile way to enjoy Teraoka’s expressive illustrations in any space.
About the Artist:
