It absolutely blows my mind how effortless she makes lining up the print with the block, and with how clean the final outcome turns out in spite of how messy the process looks to a layman. Honestly, it feels like watching a magic trick.

Hey David, I wasn't sure where to post this so I'm just gonna put it here. I got the 2 prints I ordered last week in the mail today and instead of doing house chores like a responsible adult I've spent the last 5 hours thinking about how I'm going to frame them, what to save up for next, day dreaming and watching more of your videos. This is the first art I've bought for my home and it certainly won't be the last :). My thanks to you, Atsushi Kawai, Chiharu Kanai and the rest of the staff for bringing me the lovely Owl in Moonlight and At the Hot Spring prints.

That used to be 'my' bench :-) Go, Suga-san! Absolutely right re: printing keyblocks after large colors to minimize bleed from dark ink- I've even printed the keyblock last. An important consideration IMO: I'd suggest that folks create proofs first to confirm registration.

It's kinda strange to see him speaking English. I was like 'How could this craftsman speak English perfectly? Oh wait he's a Canadian'. I saw him several times on Japanese TV shows where he spoke only Japanese and explained the subtlety of woodblock printing, and I kinda forgot he was from a foreign country lol Much respect for David. He started woodblock printing at the age of 35 and yet his enthusiasm and dedication made him a great artist

As an avid enthusiast for Katsushika Hokusai, you both have touched my heart to pieces bringing to light a 17th century process. Even the indigo blue in the Blue Sky Gradation, brought me back to the indigo in the Mount Fuji Series. Hope to visit you all in Tokyo in the future...Thank you so much.

@KittenBowl1
Жыл бұрын
They’re all hand carved. We draw our own drawings (usually a scenery), then we transfer the drawing onto the wood blocks, each for different color using a transfer sheet, then we hand carve each woodblock. I’ve done traditional woodblock printing (I’m Japanese in Japan), but this one in video is modern woodblock. I made a calendar out of them. 12 drawings for 12 different scenery for each month (like falling leaves from trees for November month), 12 different calendar sheets for different months. It takes a long time to carve a woodblock by hand, depending on how large it is. I won an award for that entry when I was younger. I don’t usually enjoy drawings like paintings (found it boring), but I enjoyed carving woodblocks and to see how a print comes out as a result. I could recurve and touch it up if I didn’t like the result. I found it to be a satisfying process, and makes a very traditional Japanese art. I made several calendars for my friends and family.
