Ayako Rokkaku ๐ฏ๐ต Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Avant Arte on Nov 24, 2022 13:18:53 GMT 1, @grumpyfish Stamping has actually always been part of her practice. She uses signing and stamping interchangeably. So far she has only stamped originals, so this will be the first time sheโs ever used her signature stamp on a print. For an idea of what it looks like this is an example of her signature stamp on an original work  Will the stamp be placed by the Artist herself or by the printers? Iโm on the fence with this one, looks really good.

Ayako Rokkaku ๐ฏ๐ต Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Deleted on Nov 24, 2022 13:33:05 GMT 1, It's a beautiful print and a great price but the explanation of the stamp seems a bit misleading.
The Hanko stamp is traditionally in red ink and and doesn't look like this. Usually they are much smaller and Japanese don't use Katakana for their names - that is for Foreign words and names. This is NOT a normal Japanese standard stamp that people use in Japan.
It looks like a special stamp she made for herself which is totally fine. But this is not a traditional stamp and Asian just dont use NORMAL stamps for signatures. That's totally wrong.

Ayako Rokkaku ๐ฏ๐ต Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Duke Down Stairs on Nov 24, 2022 13:35:27 GMT 1, FYI The Japanese "Rokkaku" means six corners / "hexagon" in English.
Hence the shape above her name (in katakana) in stamp.

Japanese typically NEVER use Katakana to spell their real Japanese names. Japanese 101
Since she is using "Rokkaku" it should be in Hiragana. If she was using the actual english word "Hexagon" then it would be in Katakana.

My comment on stamping was not to claim Ayako is using her hanko to stamp. As the image I shared shows and you pointed out, it isn't a traditional hanko. It is a stamp she special designed for use on her art and my explanation of Japanese stamping practice was meant to give context as to why she might choose to incorporate stamping into her practice. |

Ayako Rokkaku ๐ฏ๐ต Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Gunny on Nov 24, 2022 13:53:19 GMT 1, I personally think it is great that the print is stamped. Ayako made the stamp for this print. The stamp is then done by the publishers on the print as she wanted - it is not SIGNED IN THE PLATE - it is a stamp that she created and wanted used for this print. That is as good as a signature to me. Perhaps it would be good for Avant to issue a signed COA to go with it - that would be great!
I honestly think this print is a brilliant price point and an amazing image. Yes there will be loads but who cares, it is still limited edition and you won't find at this price going forward, that is for sure.

Ayako Rokkaku ๐ฏ๐ต Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Avant Arte on Nov 24, 2022 16:30:37 GMT 1, Once the edition size is defined, would it be possible to get a % of the size per country? It is just a curiosity to understand the collectors base, as Iโve see the most been sent to Japan and Korea, some to UK and Italy. It is just a personal curiosity but I think many members on this forum would also be interested. thank you
So can't give away all the details but we did indeed sell more to Japan than any other country. Followed by Taiwan, USA, UK, HK. As far as Europe goes it was actually the Netherlands, Germany and France who took the lead. โบ๏ธ

Ayako Rokkaku ๐ฏ๐ต Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by esfer on Nov 24, 2022 17:35:41 GMT 1, Thank you for letting us know!
Honestly that's an excellent number for all involved! It's high enough for the artist to feel good about, and the idea was successful so maybe Avant Arte will do more of these with other artists they are representing.
The price was excellent for the size and content we'll be getting! I can't wait to see the print in person!
Wouldn't it be great if she decided to switch up the stamped signature (which doesn't even matter according to the artist/ Japanese cultural norms/ the artist's gallery representatives) for a hand signature just to teach those that care so much about signatures a hard lesson?
Omg. That would be amazing.
Not probable, but it would be amazing none the less!
Watch how high the next timed release goes if that happens!
Thanks again AA for this fantastic and beautiful opportunity to purchase a great print...and at a reasonably affordable price at that!

Just out of curiosity...how do you know it is arriving on Thursday? Did you receive an email? I have received zero updates or emails. Have others received emails about the shipping date? I assume it would be from an email we sent. Usually when your order has been dispatched we send an email with tracking link. Because of the amount of prints we're not shipping them all at the same time so likely yours hasn't shipped yet. Shouldn't be to long now so hope you get your email soon!
