  2. Making good progress on my next woodblock print - a copy of a little known print by Ikeda Taishin. The key block is carved, so I'm now working on the colour blocks.

  3. Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900), Four Famous Wise Men of the Theater: Actor Ichikawa Sdanji I as Umeomaru, 1894

  4. So here's the final print, slightly modified from the test print; the carving on some of the blocks has been tidied up, and there's now yellow added to the lantern and a dark gradation at the top making it look more finished.

  5. And the first test print doesn't look too bad (though I really like the black keyblock on its own, TBH).

  6. And that's the colour blocks now carved. One each for the background, the red kimono and glow in the lantern, and the yellow kimono collar and pattern and the lantern.

  7. 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.

  8. Since it rarely snows in #Cologne 🌞, I thought I'd at least bring back some memories of it at home. And what better place for #snow 🌨️ to come from than...#Texas! 😅 I'm not kidding. My latest #woodcutprint comes from Jack (mokudez), a mechanical engineer living in Texas who creates #mokuhanga in his free time. I really love this print and Jack's thoughtful note on the back truely made my day.

  9. @ateliersento Die Sommerpause ist rum und ich habe noch 2 Drucke nachzumelden :-) Erstmal hier der Besucher im Wald. Tolle Lichtstimmung und Kontraste!

  10. Went to see the Hiroshige exhibition at the British Museum (britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/) and it is astonishing. Not just because Hiroshige is a wonderful designer, but the level of craftsmanship in the carving and printing is INSANE.

    Spent 2 hours there just wandering from print to print, shaking my head in awe and saying "wow" (well, until I saw 'Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake', and that got a "Holy F*CK").

  11. Das Mai-Motiv von @ateliersento lässt uns "abtauchen" in die Tiefe des Alls. Wieder einmal tolle Verbindung von Tradition (die Ama-Taucherinnen, das Torii) und Zukunft.

  12. Fast vergessen, der April-Druck der @ateliersento designten Reihe von Mokuhankan. Schön verspielt und frühlingshaft 🌸

  14. @ateliersento Runde 2 ist schon angekommen! Das Schwarz des Portals ist wirklich tiefschwarz, das Portal schwebt förmlich über dem Bild. Großartig!

  15. Heute endlich den ersten Druck aus der diesjährigen Serie von Shin-hanga Drucken von #mokuhankan. Tolles Design von @ateliersento ! Was man auch erst richtig sieht, wenn das Licht von der Seite auf den Druck fällt: der Schnee und der Rauch der Rakete sind mit einem Prägedruck leicht erhaben. Ich freue mich auf die die nächsten Monate!

  16. From #ukiyoe to #horimono: The Japanese art of #tattooing and its historical roots. The history of horimono (彫り物), the traditional Japanese art of tattooing, is deeply intertwined with #Japan’s social evolution, spiritual beliefs – and the ukiyo-e woodblock printing tradition. From its ancient origins to its association with the #yakuza and its current resurgence as an art form, horimono reflects Japan’s complex relationship with tattooing.

  17. Celebrating the serene beauty and intricate detail in "Night Rain on the Karasaki Pine," this woodblock print transports us to an ethereal night in Ōmi. How does rainfall enhance the atmosphere in traditional landscapes like this?

  18. Mistodon: this #teletext adaptation of the cover art to #Weezer's second album, 1996's #Pinkerton, was made by @atonalosprey. The design derives from #Hiroshige's 19th century #ukiyoe print #KambaraYoruNoYuki ("#NightSnowAtKambara"). This screen was included in the recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.
