This beautiful portfolio is created with "COLLOTYPE", a unique printing method that was invented in France and perfected by Japanese craftsman over 150 years. Rich, opaque pigment ink is carefully printed on paper, layer by layer, for an unparalleled depth, detail and intensity, even in black and white. 

Amami and Tokunoshima in Okinawa prefecture are islands where the culture of bullfighting and people’s way have been deeply integrated since the islands were under the control of the Satsuma Domain. The artwork in this portfolio reflect the life of the bullfighting “Fukuda Kiwado No. 1”, which was said to be the strongest in Tokunoshima’s history.

  • Collotype is an interesting fusion between French and Japanese discoveries. The printing process was discovered in France, about 150 years ago. It was a new style of printing that combines photography and printmaking and the results are one-of-a-kind. BENRIDO was established in 1887 in Kyoto, where they have been specializing in Collotype printing since 1905. With over a century of experience in the craft, they are one of the very few Collotype studios left, and the world’s only one that produces full-color photographic Collotype prints. They have won several awards and recognitions and have been responsible for many big art works and projects in Japan and abroad. 


    for details of the exhibition Amami and Tokunoshima in Okinawa Prefecture have been unique islands where bullfighting and people's lifestyles have been closely intertwined since the time when they were under the rule of the Satsuma Domain. This portfolio depicts the heyday of the bullfighting "Fukuda Kiwado No. 1", which was said to be the strongest bullfight in Tokunoshima in history, and what it looked like after retirement. You can see how strong he had a strong body and glossy dark coat in his heyday, and on the contrary, how thin and rough his hair was after retirement, in the smooth shade expression of the collotype. It is so delicate that you can see each very fine hair, and it is faithfully printed so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the original photograph, and you can carefully observe how each part of the body has changed in its heyday and after retirement with a deep expression unique to collotype.

    The title was designed by Michael Horsham of the art design group TOMATO, and Michael Horsham also contributed text.

    * The iron plate engraved with the title is designed to enjoy the change over time. Please understand that rust and scratches will occur before purchasing.
