“The Scroll” series features large-scale horizontal works drawn across connected sheets of paper, printed on traditional Japanese washi paper using collotype printing. The Scroll II, titled ONE PIECE: Hundred Views of Pirates, will be unveiled for the first time and exhibited for sale at the Benrido Collotype Gallery in Kyoto.

In 2021, to commemorate the 1000th chapter of ONE PIECE, a global character popularity poll titled “WORLD TOP100” was held. “Hundred Views of Pirates” is a newly drawn illustration by Eiichiro Oda, featuring the top-ranked characters from that poll. It was published across three issues of Weekly Shonen Jump (Issues 39–41, 2021). When the pages are connected horizontally, they form one expansive image.

To transform this monumental illustration into a fine art piece, special paper and printing techniques were selected.

Handcrafted Echizen washi paper

Founded in 1865 during the turbulent final years of the Edo period, the Iwano Heisaburo Paper Mill developed “Kumohadamashi hemp paper,” renowned for its suitability in painting. It became a favorite among artists such as Yokoyama Taikan. Now in its fourth generation, the mill continues to use traditional materials to produce sheets over 3 meters in length. It remains Japan’s only workshop specializing in large-format handmade washi.

Collotype printing

Collotype is one of the oldest practical photomechanical printing techniques, with a proven ability to preserve images for over a century. For this reason, photographs printed using collotype are still used today in restoration records of Kyoto’s temples and shrines.
Founded in 1887 during the Meiji era, Benrido remains the world’s only workshop capable of producing color collotype prints. Known for projects such as life-size reproductions of the murals in Hōryū-ji’s Golden Hall, Benrido was entrusted with the plate-making and printing of this work.

To enhance the impact of the piece, the original illustration was enlarged.
To faithfully reproduce the vivid colors of the pirates, each sheet required 23 printing plates—more than five times the number used in standard commercial printing. Across three sheets, a total of 69 plates were used, making this an unprecedented print production.

At the same time, the Covers series—featuring collotype prints of ONE PIECE comic cover illustrations on B4-sized washi paper—will make its debut at the Benrido Collotype Gallery starting Friday, November 14, in conjunction with the art fair Art Collaboration Kyoto (ACK) 2025.
