The Tomato Farmers (Nakasendō #1)

Limited edition print The Tomato Farmers (Nakasendō #1) is my third limited edition print.  This is a photograph taken on April 26, 2019, 13:30 near the city of Shiojiri, at the start of the Kiso-ji portion of the old Nakasendō Highway. I had just eaten the worst bowl of shio ramen I had ever had, and started chatting with this group. They were strangely eager to be photographed, the front farmer barked at me, "Make me famous! Put me in The New York Times!"  This A4 print is limited to an edition of thirty. These were printed / signed / packaged by me at my home studio. They ship from my warehouse / distributor via tracked DHL, and usually arrive within three business days anywhere in the world. Custom kiribako (wooden box) details The print ships in a kiribako, or paulownia wood box. Japan scholar and historian John McBride can explain: Paulownia Wood Boxes — used for centuries in Japan to store works of art. The perfect conservatory storage method, the wood contracts when it is dry
