PT KONTAK PERKASA - The HKDS Online store added limited edition woodblock prints of One Piece's
Shank and Dracule Mihawks on Monday. The art is priced at 17,500 yen
each (US$154) and limited to only 200 pieces per design. The wood prints
are joining Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Sabo, Portgas D. Ace,
and Luffy.
The artwork is first carefully carved by artist Norikazu Yamaguchi
before being pressed on "Sesshu-hanshi," traditional handmade paper
made in Shimane prefecture. The paper is a type of washi paper and is
registered as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This style of
papermaking has been passed down for at least 1,300 years. The paper
used for the prints is made by Nishida Washi which began making
sesshu-hanshi in the 1800s and is staffed by an seventh generation
craftsman, Seikichi Nishida.
The One Piece woodblocks first started in
2015. Customers who like the artwork but can't throw down US$150 can opt
for a mug for 3,240 yen (US$28.50).
