Skewered mochi balls, grilled to perfection then drizzled with a sweet soy sauce glaze – it’s the perfect blend of savory and sweet.

This print is part of a limited edition of only 100 prints. Each print is carefully handprinted using a set of three hand-carved linocut blocks. The paper is cream-colored and 100% cotton, and the four edges are either hand-torn or deckled. The front of each print is signed with the artist’s initials and the edition number; the back of each print is labeled with full print details.

Because each print is an original work of art, there will be some variation between prints.
