In this video i finish a few things in the blocks before we follow along with the printing process for the final production run in this first batch of the prints. We meet Ayumi san the printer i. worked with on this project as well as a wrap up interview with Dave bull. The man behind Mokuhankan who commissioned me to produce the blockset for this print.
Its been a learning experience all around, learning not only more about the production of shin hanga but also how to produce videos and a youtube channel. hopefully i can develop and be able to produce some more interesting content for you all in the future. Thank you all for following along as i grow this channel.

I've been collecting prints for a little while, and I've been following Dave's work and writings and videos for almost as long. Finding that there are still new insights to be gained is surprising. Your perspective as the carver, Ayumi san's as the printer, and Dave's as the publisher wrap up the project very nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next in the pipeline.

Thank you John, these videos were a little long and self-indulgent but I wanted to see what I could do and learn how to make videos. I’m happy that they were able to bring something new, rather than just an imitation. Hopefully I can bring some more to the table. (Some Hokusai perhaps that original right!)

I still think that using a vectorial program (instead of a raster one), it's the best approach to reduce to almost-zero the "fixing missing/excessive-printed zones" (re)carving part. That's the way I went since my first nishiki-e (錦絵) design. Why is vectorial programs better IMHO? Because you can easily reshape the zones, changing color, turning a flat-color to a gradation (and edit it), etc. with perfect-fit on a single click.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series - you've obviously done a wonderful job, judging by Dave-san's comments and reaction. I'm really looking forward to the next step on the ladder in your development, please keep us in the loop with your future projects, whether they be success or failure, it doesn't matter, just being a remote participant in the process is a welcome treat! Well done, Taran-san!

Very well done. You know, to advance on shin-hanga, you really can't avoid introducing textures of sujizuri or gomazuri. Dave Bull, for reasons not entirely clear, has always resisted anything but smooth colour. Yoshida though used texture extensively. Practically every original print depicting water had baren lines directing the eye. And most prints had goma layered to mimic his original watercolour. There's a pretty steep learning curve in doing this however, for both carver and printer, but I think well within your range.
@GinkoHanga 6 ай бұрын
Our plan with the next version is not just to deepen but also introduce some barren-suji and also manage the gomma more. Making it more pronounced in some areas (wall for instance) and reducing in others. I keep finding new copies up for sale so my reference list keeps growing. Like Ayumi san said tho, it would be really great to have a look at one in person, that would be such a game changer. Thanks for you interest in this project, we are all developing here to try and level up!
@mokuhanga1 6 ай бұрын
Perhaps persuade Dave on Twitch to ask to borrow an early impression. I know of 2 occasional Twitch viewers who have significant Yoshida collections, both in the US, and 1 frequently lends to exhibitions. A slight problem with this is that early shin-hanga tended to resist printmaking simply as reproduction so often prints were similar but every print was a little different. Again, very well done. 3 videos can't really convey how much time and effect really was put in.@@GinkoHanga

What a labour of love, patience and dedication, many congratulations and much respect! I recently treated myself to a copy of Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon and watching your videos has given me a real appreciation of the intricate processes and work behind each print … still unbelievable the detail and accuracy that can be achieved from carved woodblocks. Best wishes for the future!

@@GinkoHanga I blew up the pic that John Bull had in his email of the Japan alley with the guy who looks like he's feeding a cat. Maybe I have that wrong but it looks like that and I think it's the best of the series so far. I will buy it as soon as it's out, I hope to see that pic on the website pretty soon, it's a winner.
