General conditions Workshops 2018
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's make paper from Japanese Kozo ourselves.
And because we want you to know the difference in quality of washi paper, we also offer special gampi raw materials.

I would like to introduce you who might be interested in Japan or Washi the difference between the traditional Japanese manner and western manner of papermaking.
The traditional method of Japanese papermaking, preparing Kozo bark for cooking, cleaning, beating the fiber and papermaking to drying, is different from the European way. During this short workshop we do not have time for processing plant fiber ourselves. In the simple demo, I introduce the real materials and this process.
The materials and tools are also different. With the Japanese tools, you can have an experience to make your own special paper simply.

(1) The traditional way of using Japanese tools with Japanese original raw fiber materials.
(2) Use of Japanese tools and also European tools, for recycling several pulp materials including some Japanese papers and also Hahnemühle etching paper.
(3) I can also show my test printing of etchings and woodcuts on several kinds of Washi. It must be very interesting to be able to feel and see differences with your own hands and eyes, and also to hear differences between papers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It is no problem if you didn’t have anything with you, but it may be good to bring the following yourself if possible.

1) (Vinyl) apron
2) Towels for drying your hands and paper.

Entrance adult €8 / 4-12 years €4

I join this event together with the special made woodcut print ‘Tree of Hope’.

The Miracle Tree, also Tree of Hope, was the only one pine tree of the 72,000 in Rikuzentanaka that survived the catastrophic tsunami of 2011. Yuriko Miyoshi made this print of the pine tree especially for Japan Day. During Japan Day, Yuriko will offer a Mokuhanga printing workshop including the plates of 松竹梅. A mokuhanga print with a design of the pine tree of hope on the right and 松竹梅 on the left, carved into a wooden plate and printed on Japanese paper.
