Three-masted seagoing ship risograph print A3
Riso printing is a Japanese printing technique using eco-friendly, rice-based ink. Each color is printed as a separate layer, resulting in the characteristic cheerful and fluorescent hues and a light texture. Small shifts between the layers and variations in color per print are characteristic of riso and make every print unique.
