Description: Jobs's Dream Jobs's Dream Issue 020 | Sept. 2024 Dear Mr. Steve Jobs When you chose Goyo Hashiguchi’s intricate bijin-ga (beauty print) for the original Macintosh advertisement, it must have raised eyebrows. At that time, the Macintosh could only display images in monochrome, and the resolution was far from the detailed, colorful art you selected. Why, then, would you feature such a vibrant woodblock print? I believe you saw beyond the current limitations of technology. The Macintosh wasn’t yet capable of replicating the complexity of this print, but it represented the future—the potential that one day, technology would catch up with the beauty and precision of traditional Japanese woodblock printing. Steve Jobs and Macintosh computer, January 1984, by Bernard Gotfryd A Masterpiece of Printing Today, that vision has largely been realized. Thanks to the advancements in printing technology, this Giclée print on hand-dyed washi paper captures the vibrant colors, delicate details, and textures of Hashiguchi’s original work. The Macintosh you pioneered has reached the point where it can fully reproduce these fine details, turning your vision into reality. However, one element remains out of reach: the kirazuri—a finishing touch where mica or shell powder is applied to give a silver shimmer. This delicate, traditional technique has yet to be replicated by modern technology. It serves as a reminder that while technology can push boundaries, some aspects of craftsmanship remain irreplaceable. This Giclée print stands as a testament to how far technology has come, yet also to the unique aspects of traditional art that endure. It is a tribute to your vision and belief in the power of innovation to match the beauty of handmade art. For those looking for a more affordable option, we offer an Art Print version printed on Hōsho paper, available with or without framing: Framed Print Art version for $50 Unframed Print Art version for $22 Thank you, Steve, for inspiring us to pursue excellence and to push the limits of what is possible. This print is a small tribute to your enduring legacy. With gratitude, Your admirer Japan Art Maniac
