Ukiyo-e Heroes: Pokemon - Insert Token
Artist: Jed Henry
Title: Insert Token (Pokémon)
Print: open edition giclée print on handmade Japanese paper, signed by the artist
Print Size: 31.5 x 43 cm (approx.)
Note from the artist on this work:
"Arcades are special! Modern home gaming can be a pretty isolating experience, even online gaming. But arcades encourage people to spend time together in a physical space, making memories and strengthening friendships. I take my kids to a local arcade every few months, and we always walk away feeling closer as a family.
If you ever get the chance to visit Japan, please check out their arcades! The arcade tradition still endures over there, and there are a lot of cool experiences to be had at those spaces.
This piece was done in a modern shin-hanga style, which was dominant in the early 1900s at the peak of Japanese woodblock technique. Shin-hanga prints are known for their atmospheric realism, and require many dozens of impressions with hand-carved wood blocks. The left caption translates to 'pocket' and 'monster'.
The right caption is an excerpt from the Kojiki, one of Japan's oldest written works from the early 700s. The line translates to 'I vow that I shall catch'. "
