What is 88Graph?
88Graph is a method of artistic expression utilizing a mixed printmaking technique originally developed by EDITION88 studio.
88Graph can be applied not only to papers but also to a wide range of materials, including metal, wood, acrylic, ceramics, glass, etc.
The main techniques utilized include giclée, silkscreen, UV printing, foil stamping, embossing, etc., as well as hand painting and hand spraying by EDITION88's artisans, and we pursue highly original expression by combining these multiple techniques.
Available starting at 11:00 AM (JST) on Friday, April 4, 2025 — both at the venue and on the online store!
