- For approximately 400 years, from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the present day, these dragons have been treasured as lucky charms, bringing good fortune and protection. From the "Kyoto Ichibitsu-ryu: Dragons of Ascending Fortune, Protection, and Matchmaking" collection, we select and feature a different dragon each month.

◆What is waterless printing?
A printing method that does not use water in the printing process, meaning it does not discharge environmentally harmful wastewater, etc. By reducing wastewater, it contributes to the preservation of the global environment and eliminates quality variation factors such as ink bleeding and paper expansion due to the use of water, thereby maintaining stable print quality.
