In this video I will be showing my process for printing the first color proofs for a new woodblock print reproduction. The design is "Snowy Village" by Kawase Hasui created nearly a hundred years ago. I simplified the design from the original and carved four blocks for this print. A total of five impressions are needed to complete this image.

Thank you so much. It is a great exercise to "copy the masters". I learned a great deal from reproducing this small print.

I’m really happy to see that you use traditional wood carving and printing tools (and even rice paste mixes) because I saw mechanical rollers and tubes in some of the shorts and was a bit bummed out. But you’ve definitely been practicing in the traditional arts. Very cool!

Thanks for your comment. I print with both water based and oil based relief block prints. Japanese printmaking is definitely my favorite carving and printing method, but carving and printing from Lino is always a fun challenge as well. I also experiment with monotype and collage as well. I think it's important not be tied down to one technique. For me the different mediums feed into the next and inspire new projects.

Wonderful work. May I ask, what is the clear liquid, what kind of ink and what kind of paper you are using? Thank you!

Hello Anna! The clear liquid is rice paste mixed with some water. The pigment I use are ground pigments/water/and gum arabic, but a simple water color pigment works fine too. The paper I use is made specifically for mokuhanga. It's made in Japan and is called "Washi" made from 100% kozo fibers.
