A series of “Famous Japanese Illustrated Handscrolls”

Registered as National Treasure, a series of full-scale reproductions

The Night Attacks on The Sanjo Palace

To celebrate the 140th anniversary of the foundation of the Tokyo National Museum, the special exhibition “Japanese Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston” was held in 2012 at the Heisei-kan at the Tokyo National Museum.
This scroll was one of the 90 pieces brought back to Japan to be on display. The reproduction of this work is a special project made for this occasion. Japanese paper was used to reproduce the feel of the textures in the original work. It has been universally admired and praised during a tour to three other museums in Japan.

    Feature

  1. 1) Commentaries are attached on each title, written respectively by prominent scholars in two languages: Japanese and English, and function as an academic study guide and reference for both domestic and international readers.
  2. 2) The original textures and colors of the work are vividly revived in reproduction by using light-resistant toners on acid-free paper (Bagasse) or Japanese paper (Torinoko). This would never have been possible using conventional printing methods.
  3. 3) The scrolls are digitally printed by the most up-to-date printing technology for high definition images in our on-demand system, so we are always able to provide the newest products to match customers’ needs.
  4. 4) Our long established “Long Sheet Printing” technology is used to create the more than 10-meter-long handscroll on one seamless sheet of paper.
