This outstanding suite has been executed on paper made exclusively for Otsuka’s Graphics. Its fibers are 100% neutral pH rag, equal to the strictest museum standards. Made in double thickness, it optimizes the absorption of colors and allows the incorporation of sophisticated embossing techniques. A silk texture has been applied to the surface of every image, and a mother of pearl coating in the fiber recreates the iridescent quality of the fabrics upon which Otsuka paints. The printing of this edition has been accomplished with superlative expertise. Each impression involves the use of several combined techniques: lithography, sculptural embossing, metal-foil and mezzotint stamping. In harmony they have provided an exquisite work of art, as faithful to Otsuka’s original painting as possible.
