Wooden ”Touch me! Art Pens" and "Wood Postcards" use unique 3D printing technologies to reproduce famous works by artists such as Hokusai and van Gogh, expressing their delicate texture and feel in three dimensions. "Art Magnets" are upcycled magnets made with scrap pieces of Mino ware, one of Japan's three finest ceramics.
Each lineup of products features works of art from famous artists, both Japanese and foreign, including works whose themes are Edo and Tokyo, such as "Under the Wave off Kanagawa" (also known as "The Great Wave") and "Fine Wind, Clear Morning" by ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, who was born in Edo in what is now the Sumida Ward; works from the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo by Utagawa Hiroshige, also from Edo; and prints from the Twelve Subjects of Tokyo series by printmaker Kawase Hasui from the early 20th century.
The unique nature of these products has been met with wide praise, and they are sold in numerous museums throughout Japan, such as the National Museum of Western Art.
