"Sycamore" is an original, unsigned miniature letterpress print by our production partner, Yoshiko Yamamoto. Only two available framed as shown with an acid-free mat, foam core backing, acrylic glazing, & a wood frame. Outside dimensions: 9.5 X 8.75" Yoshiko Yamamoto is a premier block printer who has merged the aesthetic of Japan's Edo period with the style of post-industrial England's Arts & Crafts Movement. Yamamoto's block prints are letterpress printed using hand-cut blocks on acid-free paper. Letterpress printing is a relief print process. The printed image is produced by a raised surface (originally lead movable type) being inked & then impressed onto a sheet of paper. These raised surfaces have historically been anything from woodcuts to wood engravings, from linocuts to typefaces. Over the past several years, a new type of plate made from photopolymer has contributed to the revival of letterpress printing. Yoshiko Yamamoto uses all these methods, from wood & linoleum block to photopolymer plates. The Framer's Workshop is a family-owned custom picture framing business located in Berkeley, California.
