What's this? Didn't our video series about the production of Hokusai's Great Wave print wrap up around two years ago? Well ... no!

We are frequently asked about print editions; about the number of prints we are able to make from any given set of blocks. This video starts to answer that question, showing examples of block wear on a number of different woodblocks we have been using here, including ... our iconic Great Wave edition.

tl;dr? The block set is doing fine!

And a reminder - if you haven't tuned in yet, our Twitch stream is live six days a week, from 8:00 AM (Tokyo time), with a number of 'back issues' always available, for those who have to miss the live versions. See you there soon, I hope!
