Letterpress Folk Heart print by Dutch Door Press — been eying on it forever and today, March 17th, 100% of proceeds go to American Red Cross for Earthquake and Tsunami Relief effort in Japan! They have so many lovely prints and cards, if you need some letterpress fix, please go over there now!

Another lovely heart I found — Cherry Blossom Heart print by This Paper Ship. Do you see Japan shape in the heart? 90% of the proceeds go to the American Red Cross’s aid effort in Japan.

Hoping all of our hearts go out to Japan…

Hi there! I hope you all had a great weekend… did you watch Super Bowl? Or Puppy Bowl? :)

Heartfish Blog has a new look now to go with the Heartfish Press website as you realized. Simpler and cleaner, has bigger images and I’ll be organizing contents more so it’ll be easier to find what you are looking for!

Anyways. My copy of the UPPERCASE issue 8 has arrived and guess what…? I received my own sampler (see everyone’s amazing pieces here)! What are the chances, right? I’m lucky that way, I guess… :) Well, someone else should enjoy this… so I have decided to give that one away here on my blog!

Good luck! xo Hijiri

Year of the Rabbit Letterpress Print

Happy Chinese New Year 2011! It’s the Year of the Rabbit. It officially begins today :)

I came across this Year of the Rabbit letterpress print by Dutch Door Press and it made me so happy. They created this print inspired by Chinese cut paper art.

Super cute!
