About Mokuhanga

Mokuhanga (木版画) is the traditional Japanese technique of woodblock printing, practiced for centuries by masters like Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Hasui Kawase. Every print begins with carved wooden blocks, layered with water-based pigments, and pressed onto handmade washi paper.

This project reimagines that tradition through AI. Every day, a new artwork is generated — depicting a real place from around the world, rendered in the distinctive style of a different Japanese master. The compositions honor the principles of mokuhanga: limited color palettes, bold outlines, carved wood texture, and the quiet poetry of landscape.

Each artwork is posted daily to Instagram and made available as a fine art print in our shop. Prints are produced on museum-quality paper by professional print houses and shipped worldwide.

Five master styles rotate through the collection: Hokusai — dramatic compositions and bold waves; Hiroshige — atmospheric landscapes and rain; Hasui Kawase — serene twilight scenes; Yoshida Hiroshi — luminous mountain views; and Ohara Koson — delicate nature studies.
