John Maeda has produced a series of unique Morisawa prints in red hues for the Awaken, Metamagical Hands exhibition at Gazelli Art House in 2024.

First released in 1996 and rendered in black, these prints were inspired by the techniques of Shikō Munakata, a master of Japanese woodblock printing, and reflects the evolving practices in digital typography. The original series was awarded the Tokyo Type Directors Club Gold Prize and is part of the permanent collection at MoMA in New York.

Each print is certified by Verisart with an ERC-721 token. The token serves as the print’s certificate of authenticity and should not be traded separately.
