Yami, the viewing room
Dark room, one spot-lit print at a time, and a light you move across the paper to reveal blind printing.
Best for: the highest perceived value, private-client feel.
Open draft02
Washi, the catalogue
Warm paper, Japanese mincho type, vertical captions and an open layout. Translating the inscriptions is the headline idea.
Best for: expertise and trust, closest to a museum publication.
Open draft03
Kiroku, the index
White contemporary-gallery look. A sortable list beside a large live preview, with a grid view too.
Best for: experienced collectors, and the one that scales best to a large stock.
Open draft04
Nishiki, browse by colour
Japanese-poster colour blocks taken from the prints, a browse-by-pigment filter, and a page that changes colour as you scroll.
Best for: memorability, design-minded buyers and interior decorators.
Open draft05
Emaki, the long wall
Sideways scroll, like unrolling a handscroll: framed prints hung in date order, with a timeline along the floor.
Best for: seeing a print framed on a wall, and a small, curated stock.
