Purpose
Since ancient times, the culture of Hida Takayama has been intimately connected with the surrounding forests.

Although based on traditional techniques passed down over generations, this art form allows for limitless creative expression. Hida Takayama Contemporary Woodblock-Prints Triennale invites both domestic and international artists to showcase their technical innovation and creativity.
