Dear customers and friends,

Good afternoon from Akiko Yamada of Shukado.
The rainy has started last month in Kanto area, including Tokyo.
It's humid but this rain is necessary for rice cultivation.
This is today's lineup.

http://syukado.jp/jp/tokusyu/19_onnanokao.html (I'm afraid there is only Japanese webpage though.)

Shukado is dealing with a wide-range of first-class Japanese fine arts from the Edo era to modern times.
This exhibition features such our main items, Kakejiku, Ukiyo-e, and contemporary painting by 5 young artists.
You can enjoy beautiful Utamaro's Ukiyo-e and beauty of the kakejiku by Kitani Chigusa featuring our latest catalog's front page.
Furthermore, at the exhibition we show the painting by Ikenaga Yasunari whose art book has become a big hit.

(Now fourth edition are sold at book store, but you can get the first edition with his sign at our online shop.)

He paints women on linen canvas with Japanese-style painting method.
It is not only Japan which is paying attention to Ikenaga's artworks. Rather, Japan is a little bit behind the overseas which is aggressively searching for a potential new talent. 
The products planned for sale in overseas are stationery including a notebook in Russia, a book cover in Spain, a lithograph in Germany etc.
