Museum and other leading museums in the world.

[edit]Style and technique
The artist prefers her paintings and original drawings, because sumi [ink] presents unlimited color spectrum. In
printmaking, Shinoda useslithograph as her medium. Unlike woodcut that requires chisel, or etching that
requires acid, lithograph allows Shinoda to work directly and spontaneously on the plate with her fluid
brushstroke. Shinoda’s strokes are meant to suggest images and vitality of nature. She says, “Certain forms
float up in my mind’s eye. Aromas, a blowing breeze, a rain-drenched gust of wind…the air in motion, my heart
in motion. I try to capture these vague, evanescent images of the instant and put them into vivid form.”[citation
needed] Shinoda’s print editions are small, usually ranging from twelve to fifty-five, and after each edition has been
pulled, she often adds a stroke of sumi color by hand.
