The works exhibited were masterpieces produced by the collaboration of Mr Wilson Shieh from Hong Kong (artist), Mr Shoichi Kitamura (carver) and the STPI (printer). Four Ukiyo-e works under the theme of “harmony of human bodies and musical instruments” and the carved woodblocks used in the process of printing works were exhibited. The carving demonstration by Mr Kitamura also fascinated many visitors.
