The next video is up! It's a 'process' video this time ... showing our printer Natsuki Suga working through the entire set of blocks to make the newest of the Ukiyo-e Heroes prints - Two Souls Entwined.

Staffer Cameron-san took all the footage, and it's his editing work this time around too. I (Dave), did the 'talk' components of the video, as well as the voice-overs, trying to explain what Suga-san was up to ...

Thank you for your patience while we got this together, and see you soon with the next one!

Ukiyo-e Heroes (25) : 'Two Souls Entwined'

Here is the next in the ongoing series of videos showing how Jed Henry's 'Ukiyo-e Heroes' woodblock prints are made. This one is the design known as 'Two Souls Entwined', and was shot in the printer's room on the 3rd floor of the Mokuhankan building in Asakusa, Tokyo, in February of 2019. The young printer you see in the video is Natsuki Suga, who has been working here at Mokuhankan for a few years now. Staffer Cameron Hilker spent hours upstairs with her while she worked on this print, and this video is put together from the clips he took during the process. (Cameron also did the editing of the whole thing ...) The print in this video is now available from Jed's webshop here: https://shop.ukiyoeheroes.com/collections/handmade-woodblock-prints/products/two-souls-entwined-woodblock-print The rest of the famous Ukiyo-e Heroes prints can be seen here: https://mokuhankan.com/heroes/ *** We stream our printmaking activities live from our Tokyo workshop six days a week over on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/japaneseprintmaking ... and we have a Patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/mokuhankan/ Thanks for watching!
