- Why did you create this work?
I chose representative things of the four seasons such as animals, plants, food, and clothing to design this set of works, and combined them with letterpress printing. I wanted to explore letterpress techniques with my friend who runs a letterpress printing studio like the use of dots, transparency, texture, etc in letterpress printing. - How were your illustrations used?
