#ukiyoe — Public Fediverse posts

Rain slants in sharp gray strokes across the bamboo thicket, dissolving travelers into mist. The weight of soaked straw raincoats bows their shoulders as they trudge uphill.

Does the faintest figure on the right still carry a lantern, or has the storm erased it?

I've been teaching myself Japanese woodblock printing - "mokuhanga" - for a bit now, so it might be interesting to post something of my attempts.

My current print is the 'Fuchū' vignette taken from panel 6 of #Hiroshige's 'harimaz-e' series, Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the #Tokaido (with slightly modified border proportions to fit the block size).

Nice and simple 🤨

First step: make a digital copy, separating each colour onto its own layer.

Gongsun Sheng making a magical gesture, Utagawa Kuniyoshi

I love the energy in his expression. It's interesting to me because these old Ukiyo-E prints aren't meant to be realistic, or they didn't hold realism up as a necessary quality, and yet there is enough there that it feels really consistent. In some of them the design is almost abstract and it takes me a while to figure out what is meant to be happening. In this one there is so much billowing fabric that I had no idea what his feet were doing at first, I think I have it now.

Look at that face. He's hunched up and squirming, so powerful are the forces in play 😁
