Toshiya Takahama. ‘The Ochiishi Plan’
Prof. Toshiya Takahama wrote: “Generally, copperplate work is printed on paper and framed, and then displayed on a wall in a museum, gallery, or house, in such a careful way as to be protected from any deterioration, such as yellowing, tearing, or molding. This is the ordinary way of being of copperplate prints..” But artists are not ordinary people, especially if you are not “traditional” or commercial artist.
