A Perfect Love

From Henry's Ukiyo-e Heroes series, this print applies the compositional conventions of Edo-period bijin-ga to a contemporary video game subject. Tender in register, the image likely depicts a romantic moment between characters rendered in the flat, outlined style characteristic of nishiki-e. Henry's collaboration with master printer Dave Bull employs hand-carved woodblocks and traditional washi, with bokashi gradients evoking the atmospheric wash of Meiji-era figure prints. The pairing of classical technique with modern subject matter — a hallmark of the series — creates deliberate visual tension between historical form and contemporary content.
