Limited Edition One Piece Mihawk, Shanks Woodblock Prints Cost 17,500 Yen

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.


The HKDS Online store added limited edition woodblock prints of One Piece's Shanks and Dracule Mihawk on Monday. The art is priced at 17,500 yen each (US$154) and limited to only 200 pieces per design. The wood prints are joining Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Sabo, Portgas D. Ace, and Luffy.

The artwork is first carefully carved by artist Norikazu Yamaguchi before being pressed on "Sesshu-hanshi," traditional handmade paper made in Shimane prefecture. The paper is a type of washi paper and is registered as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This style of papermaking has been passed down for at least 1,300 years. The paper used for the prints is made by Nishida Washi which began making sesshu-hanshi in the 1800s and is staffed by an seventh generation craftsman, Seikichi Nishida.

The One Piece woodblocks first started in 2015. Customers who like the artwork but can't throw down US$150 can opt for a mug for 3,240 yen (US$28.50).
