A self described “visual miscellany of paintings and objects that speak to us.”             We in the graphic arts, see the artistry of execution on the part of Hemlock Printers, yet can we fail to be moved by the art itself?             These are works by Japanese artists who labors transcend the trajectory of empire.  Their devotion to clean lines and detail would motivate titans from Frank Lloyd Wright to Edward Deming who were blind to geopolitical hangovers.             In that spirit, Hemlock Printers embraces the random genius of a polyglot culture using 10 micron stochastic to set the printed page ablaze with artistic passion.  Cross border collaboration requiring case bound binding excellence using end-sheets imported from Japan completes this multicultural masterpiece call the Kagedo Japanese Art Book.             We congratulate repeat Best of the Best winner Hemlock Printers on their receipt of the Kodak Polychrome Graphics Best Stochastic Printing Award.
