Sakasa Fuji Mountain Reflection view Large hand carved woodblock print Japanese Moku Hanga Banhua signed Clark (137) 299.99. He was the last of a generation of woodblock printmakers who represented the shin hanga art movement. Ryusei learned woodblock printmaking from the great shin hanga artist Toshi Yoshida who died in 1995.

The first, “Breakfast Bee?” (the nuthatch and the bee), is in the Wingtip Press 2019 Leftovers print exchange. Ryusei Okamoto is one of the best moku hanga artists in Japan - unfortunately one of only very few that I would refer to as 'best'. Here are my first prints using this process. San Francisco-based Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) selected Berkeley artist Miwako Nishizawa, born in Kyoto Japan, to create pieces for its 2016 poster art series using the moku hanga woodblock technique. McClains Printmaking Supplies is a good source for tools, blocks, and books about the process.Ĭarving can take a long time, but it’s an opportunity for contemplation, for “being in the moment” with your image, and the blocks eventually become works of art, along with the prints. As the images are all hand-pulled, moku hanga prints don’t need a press, and using water-based inks makes this for an easy clean-up. For multiple colors, multiple blocks are carved, with exact registration (kento) marks on each block. To make a print, the block’s surface is saturated with water color and nori paste, and then slightly dampened paper is laid down and pressed with a buren. The image, a type of relief print, is produced by carving away everything except the lines to be printed. In modern times the images may have changed, but the process remains much the same, and its simplicity is very appealing, requiring not much more than a block of wood, a cutting tool (gouge), ink, and paper.
