This is an old etching press (1968?-1982) in space S.

日本教図㈱発行のカタログに掲載されている、おそらく「65-3738　ヒルマエッチングプレスローラー　C型」と思われる。日本教図㈱の子会社ヒルマ理研による製造。昭和57年に日本教図㈱が解散、現在の新会社㈱ヒルマがその事業を継承した時点で、このエッチングプレスは製造終了している。このカタログは昭和48年度のものだが、昭和43年度分のカタログにも掲載されているのが確認されているので、少なくとも昭和43年から昭和57年度に販売されていたようである。

I visited Nishi-Aaizu in Fukushima on 9 March 2017. See this page.

I didn't have a chance to visit space S for very long time.

After visited Nishi-Aaizu, at last I could visit space S!

My first time to meet the director of space S, Mrs. Sumiko Ando was very long time ago at Chigusa gallery in Mejiro, Tokyo. We have another common connection with "Lithuanian artists".

Now she is the president of Nishiaizu International Art Village in Fukushima, the wooden twostory building that was former Shingo junior high school which operation was ended 2001.

There is an etching press at Nishiaizu International Art Village.

The etching press that had been used by Yoshiro Nagase (1891-1978) was donated from his family.

At the same time a small etching press had used at the Shingo junior high school came to space S.

She offers her space as gallery, meeting and as the residence for artists.

Hanga Land cooperates together with Sekishu Washi Center to introduce what is real Washi (Japanese paper) through mini trial workshop of Japanese traditional techniques: MOKU-HANGA printing and AI-ZOME dyeing.

At our table, I also show you the sample books of etching prints using oil-based ink and woodcut prints (water based paint) and Japanese calligraphies (water-based sumi ink) we made and also I can explain you how to use Washi along with a sample book by Sekishu Washi Center of authentic, high quality handmade Washi and also a sample book by Carta Pura in Munich with several kinds of Sekishu Washi. Those Sekishu papers can be purchased at the shop Carta Pura.

Our product prices are between 2 Euro and 250 Euro.

Pay in cash. It is possible to send the money direct to my bank account via Internet banking from your smart phone. There is NO ATM for cash withdrawals available in the church.

Hanga Land cooperates with the Japanese Sekishu Washi Center, an organization that strives to keep traditional papermaking techniques alive in Japan. They provide materials and tools for making Washi, give workshops and master classes, and hold exhibitions about handmade Japanese paper and its history. The Sekishu Washi has been listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site for its commitment to preserving these ancient techniques.

In the AIR program also meant for foreigners, they have arranged the Sekishu Hand-Papermaking Experience Course (5-Day Program in Japan). Artists interested in Sekishu Washi (traditional Japanese paper) will learn the hand-papermaking process and develop new creative works through interaction with local craftspeople.

Good examples and photos to get acquainted with the program can be found at:

Hanga Land and Sekishu Washi will be participating in the Book Craft Fair again this year. This year Atelier Chika Ito, as her first time, can join this fair to show her special artists books using several printmaking techniques and her own made special inks. Yuriko Miyoshi assisted her with her project.

So we would like to have our tables next each other to explain together our several printmaking techniques, papers and inks.
