In this episode Miranda speaks with Satoru Itazu. Satoru has been a collaborative lithographer for over three decades running a compact studio on the outskirts of Tokyo where he produces meticulous, high-end editions. He is a generous teacher and his Instagram account is known for in depth instructional videos and collaborations with artists from around the world.
