Custom Framing Your Japanese Woodblock Print in San Francisco
When we started framing this fine art print of Kawase Hasui’s Snow at Funabori Woodblock from 1932, we wanted to give it a framed look that fits the era of the print and the art movement it came from.

We used a clean gallery cap frame […]
