This print was featured in Cozzolino's solo exhibition opening at Avigliana's historic centre, promoted directly to her local audience through the social-media post that supplies the catalogue title. The work belongs to a body of mokuhanga produced for a personal show in her home region of northwest Italy. As with her other exhibition prints, it was hand-printed in a small edition on Japanese washi using water-based pigments and a baren, the artist carving every block and pulling every impression herself. Cozzolino's exhibitions in regional cultural centres have helped establish an audience for European mokuhanga in northern Italy, where she lives and teaches. Without a clear record of the image itself in the catalogue entry, the print stands chiefly as documentation of her grassroots, studio-driven approach to publishing — exhibitions sited in local civic spaces rather than commercial galleries, and editions sized to what she can pull by hand from her own studio.
