Collotype Portfolio

*Please note: One print (blue) from the bottom right is missing. The set contains a total of 5 prints.*

This is a portfolio set by Rinko Kawauchi, produced by Benrido in Kyoto, a company with a rare color collotype printing technique. Rinko Kawauchi, who won the Grand Prix in the photography division of the 9th Hitotsubo Exhibition (now 1_WALL) in 1997, held a solo exhibition Utatane at Guardian Garden (Tokyo) the following year, 1998. The works taken during that period form the precursor series to her first photobook of the same title, Utatane (2001), but many of these images are not included in the photobook. This portfolio features 6 previously unpublished photographs from the 1998 exhibition Utatane, offering a glimpse into Kawauchi's starting point, yet already showcasing the foundation of her unique artistic world that was about to take flight.
