This is certainly later that it should have been ... but it's ready just in time for the shipping of the actual prints ... the third new design in the series to come to life in the past few months.

I've actually got all the 'film' in the can for the next process video, and am just trying to find time to get the editing done. Why the delay on these? It's of course because of the construction work we are doing downstairs ... I'm sure most of you must have heard the news by now, but we're moving downstairs in our building, and the shop will now be at street level. Can we handle the expected onrush? There is only one way to find out!

Thank you again to all our Patreons helping us get through this difficult - but fabulously interesting and fun - phase of growth!

Ukiyoe Heroes (23) : Proofing 'The Serpent Strikes'

Here is an update to the Ukiyoe Heroes print series, showing the process of proofing the block set for the Jed Henry design known as 'The Serpent Strikes'. It was shot in the Tokyo workroom of woodblock printer Kenichi Kubota in March of 2018. Shortly after this trial printing was completed, Kubota-san began work on the initial batch of production prints, which were sent over to Jed a couple of weeks later. The print is now in regular production, and can be found in the catalogue at: http://www.ukiyoeheroes.com
