Takashimaya Limited Edition 2 of 50 Photograph

The New York City branch of Takashimaya, the great Japanese retail establishment, commissioned photographer Susan Salinger to create a limited edition, boxed set of five images of objects of interest to her from throughout the store, and to interpret them in her unique photographic style. An exhibition of the images at the 5th Avenue store accompanied the launch of the edition. This image is of an exquisitely rare, highly glazed Tokoname, Shudei Zisha Hobin Kyusu teapot from the region of Kyoto, Japan. This photograph is selenium toned, silver-based fiber print. The selenium toning gives a rich deep tone to the blacks and golds while retaining detail in the whites.
