// ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP //
Printmaking workshop on the Japanese tradition of Baren printing on Washi (Japanese paper) accompanied by a lecture and demonstration presented by the Japanese printmaker and papermaker, Yuriko Miyoshi.

The participants will be introduced to the wonders of the Japanese woodcut technique and experience the actual printing process using natural materials and non-toxic water-based inks. The printed end product is also known as Ukiyo-e (浮世絵).
Woodcut printing is a sustainable printing technique, and we are happy to show you the possibilities of woodcut printing by exploring its history, materials and tools. We will also take a look through the actual Japanese woodcut printed books with amazing details, dating back from the 19c (Meiji – Taisho era).

What is MOKU-HANGA?
MOKU-HANGA (木版画) is the Japanese traditional woodcut technique, also known as Ukiyo-e printing. An artist draws the design, the carver carves the woodblocks and the printer prints the blocks in relief with water-based ink using starch-based glue (Yamato nori). Printing is not done by a press, but with hand using Baren (馬連) which is a traditional printing disc used for the Woodcut. Washi, the Japanese paper is used for the printing.
