The journey of an artist is a winding one. You make the decision to start, not knowing where it will take you. Over time, if you're fortunate, you build a career from your work while gaining the freedom to explore new forms of expression, with each project becoming an important and affirming part of that journey. In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Mariko Jesse, a professional illustrator who has integrated mokuhanga into her artistic practice.

Mokuhanga today can be made in so many ways. So many inspirations, so many people creating beautiful pieces from all over the world. Coming to you from Obihiro, Hokkaido, I have been traveling around Japan for over a month. Coming back to Japan is always an inspiring act and it is already like a second home to me. What brought me back to Japan this time around was the 2024 International Mokuhanga Conference held in Echizen City, Fukui, Japan. Meeting with so many mokuhanga artists, carvers, and printers inspired me and makes me want to be a better artist and to make a better podcast. On this episode of The Unfinished Print I speak with one of the mokuhanga artists who also attended the 2024 IMC. Jason Fujiwara. Jason lives and works in Tokyo, Japan where he creates his mokuhanga. Jason and I speak together about how he approaches his work, his inspirations, the idea of cultural identity in his prints , his time at the 2024 International Mokuhanga Conference, and Jason even asks me some questions. Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Jason Fujiwara - website, Instagram Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) - born in Edo, Hiroshige is famous for his landscape series of that burgeoning city. The most famous series being, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856-1859), and the landcape series, Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833-1834). His work highlights bokashi, and bright colours. More info about his work can be found, here. Ōiso: from the series The Tōkaidō Road - The Fifty-three Stations (1851-52) Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) - is one of the most famous Japanese artists to have ever lived. Hokusai was an illustrator, painter and woodblock print designer. His work can be found on paper, wood, silk, and screen. His woodblock print design for Under The Wave off Kanagawa (ca. 1830-32) is beyond famous. His work, his manga, his woodblocks, his paintings, influence artists from all over the world. Poem by Sangi Hitoshi : the series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (n.d.) David Bull - is a Canadian woodblock printmaker, and educator who lives and works in Japan. His love of mokuhanga has almost singlehandedly promoted the art form around the world. His company, Mokuhankan, has a brick and mortar store in Asakusa, Tōkyō, and online, here. The Forest In Summer: From the Series "My Solitudes." (2007-9) Ema Shin - Based in Melbourne, Australia, Ema Shin hails from Niigata, Japan. She pursued her education in printmaking at Tama Art University in Tokyo. Currently, her work spans across various mediums including papier-mâché, embroidery, tapestry weaving, bookmaking, urauchi, collage, and mokuhanga. For more information, visit here. Soft Alchemy (Fertile Heart) Woven tapestry, cotton, wool, 21" x 31" x 2.3", Matthew Stanton photography. (2019) Terry McKenna - is a mokuhanga printmaker and teacher residing in Karuizawa, Japan. He received guidance in the art form from Richard Steiner, a prominent mokuhanga printmaker based in Kyoto. Terry established the Karuizawa Mokuhanga School, a renowned residency dedicated to mokuhanga education. For further details about Terry and his school, here. Additionally, you can read Terry's interview with The Unfinished Print, here and Richard Steiner's interview here. Beauty (2010) mokume - is a woodblock printing technique where, by using heavy pressure on wood which contains a heavy grain, the artist can reveal the grain in their work. Below is a fine example of mokume technique by Osamu Sugiyama: 10 Views of Mt. Fuji - Moonlight over Shinobino Moor (13"x16.9") bokashi - is a mokuhanga technique, where the pigment fades from a heavy colour to a softer, broad colour. Made famous by prints designed by Hokusai and Hiroshige, this technique is, for me, the most popular technique utilized by mokuhanga printmakers. There are various types: Ichimoji-bokashi or straight line graduation, used in the above mentioned Hiroshige and Hokusai prints. Ichimoji-mura-bokashi or straight line gradation with uneven edge. Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition. Futa-iro-bokashi or two tone gradation, and ita-bokashi or softer-edge gradation, where the block is cut in a specific way to achieve this style of gradation. All of these styles of bokashi technique take practice and skill but are very much doable. Below is a fine example of bokashi by Paul Binnie: Flowers of a Hundred Years: Bubble Era [of 1990] (18.5"x13") (2024) ukiyo-e - is a form of multi-color woodblock print and painting primarily associated with Japan's Edo Period (1603-1867). Originating in the 17th century with prints featuring only a few colors, it evolved into a sophisticated system of production and technique by the Meiji Period (1868-1912). However, with the emergence of photography and other printmaking methods, traditional ukiyo-e production ceased by the late 19th century, leaving behind a rich legacy in Japanese art history. Procreate - is a popular digital art app designed exclusively for iPad and iPhone. It offers a wide range of tools and features that allow artists to create digital illustrations, paintings, and designs with ease. Some of its key features include a variety of brushes, layers, blending modes, and advanced editing options. Procreate has gained popularity among digital artists due to its intuitive interface, powerful capabilities, and ability to produce high-quality artwork. A2 - is a paper size part of the ISO 216 standard and is commonly used for posters, architectural drawings, and other large format prints. Its dimensions are 594 x 420 millimeters or approximately 23.4 x 16.5 inches. Pansion paper - is a medium-heavy kozo paper, varying in size and weight and is predominantly used in printmaking. Ralph Kiggell (1960-2022) : was a highly influential figure in our world of mokuhanga printmaking. Originally from England, Ralph resided and practiced his art in Thailand. Renowned for his innovative approach, Ralph pushed the boundaries of mokuhanga through his creation of exceptionally large pieces, intricate jigsaw carving techniques, and vibrant color palettes. He also played a pivotal role in promoting mokuhanga globally through his involvement with the International Mokuhanga Conference. His legacy will be deeply felt and cherished by the mokuhanga community. You can explore Ralph's work, here. You can read his obituary in The Guardian here and his interview with The Unfinished Print, here. White Orchid (n.d.) Keiko Kobayashi - is a mokuhanga printmaker and administrator of the International Mokuhanga Conference. She lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.

Sự ra đời của Gió nổi lên và Ngôi làng thơ mộng đều gắn với một giai đoạn quan trọng trong đời sống tình cảm của tác giả, bắt đầu từ cuộc gặp gỡ giữa Hori Tatsuo và Yano Ayako - người đã đính hôn cùng Hori Tatsuo ít lâu sau đó, và cũng là nguyên mẫu của nhân vật Setsuko trong truyện. Nơi gặp gỡ ban đầu của họ là Karuizawa - một địa điểm nghỉ mát nổi tiếng ở miền trung Nhật Bản, đã đi vào trong cả hai tác phẩm dưới cái tên viết tắt là “làng K.”, với những hình ảnh thiên nhiên thuần khiết và tuyệt mỹ. Nét đặc trưng trong lối viết của Hori Tatsuo thể hiện ở những câu văn dài, giàu hình ảnh và giàu tính nhạc điệu, đã trở thành điểm chung quan trọng kết nối hai tác phẩm; nhờ đó, Gió nổi lên và Ngôi làng thơ mộng không chỉ “làm dáng” bằng kết cấu của bản nhạc giao hưởng với khúc dạo đầu, mà thật sự toát lên vẻ đẹp của những nhạc khúc với giai điệu trong ngần cứ trải ra vô tận và ngân vang mãi giữa thiên nhiên. ------------------------------------- THÔNG TIN TÁC GIẢ HORI TATSUO - Là nhà văn, nhà thơ và dịch giả người Nhật. Sinh thời, ông tự xem mình lad môn đồ của Akutagawa và bày tỏ lòng yêu thích văn hóa cổ Nhật Bản, nhưng đồng thời, văn chương của ông cũng thể hiện những ảnh hưởng rõ nét của các tác giả Tây phương.

Mokuhanga is a personal journey. The ups and downs of the artist are many; observing the emotions and layers of an artist simply through social media and chat rooms is complicated. Seeing a person's work is a window to who they are or want to be, their fears and desires; all these things make the mokuhanga artist so interesting to me. On this episode of the Unfinished Print, I speak with mokuhanga printmaker and artist Ben Selby. Ben's work contains subtle emotion, powerful narratives, and unique perspectives. In my mokuhanga conversation with Ben, he speaks about his, at times, very personal experiences, how he grew up and his environment. We discuss Ben's reflection on the self in his work, his MFA thesis, the power of colour, the idea of tradition in mokuhanga, working with Richard Steiner and Terry McKenna, and alligator gar.

Bei einem Treffen im japanischen Karuizawa haben die Außenministerinnen und -minister der G7-Länder deutlich gemacht, dass sie sich gemeinsam gegen gewaltsame Änderungen der internationalen Ordnung stemmen. Alice Bota, Politikredakteurin der ZEIT, hat das Treffen vor Ort verfolgt. Sie spricht über ihre Eindrücke vom Treffen, über den wieder gefundenen Zusammenhalt nach dem Macron-Interview und über die deutsche Taiwan-Strategie, die sich erkennen hat lassen. Der Expertenrat für Klimafragen warnt in einem neuen Gutachten davor, die Fortschritte beim Klimaschutz zu überschätzen. Der Rückgang der Treibhausgasemissionen um 1,9 Prozent im Jahr 2022 sei vor allem krisenbedingt gewesen und daher möglicherweise nur vorläufig. Zudem kritisiert der Expertenrat die von der Ampel-Koalition geplante Reform des Klimaschutzgesetzes. Der russische Oppositionelle Wladimir Kara-Mursa ist in Moskau zu 25 Jahren Haft in einem Straflager verurteilt worden. Er sei unter anderem des Hochverrats schuldig, urteilte ein Gericht in Moskau.

Jota Tanaka has worked for Kirin Brewery Company for 34 years, leading its whisky business as master blender since 2017.He's had a really interesting career path through the Kirin business to arrive at his current role, including stints in winemaking, wine marketing and leading product development for Four Roses Distillery in Kentucky.We'll get into some of that in this interview with Jota, who was inducted into the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame in 2022, one of many career accolades he's received in recent years.Today, Jota is pouring his passion, skills and experience into Kirin's flagship whisky brand Fuji, which is produced at the Fuji-Gotemba distillery at the foot of Mount Fuji.Established in 1973, Fuji-Gotemba is one of very few distilleries producing both malt and grain whisky at the same site, which explains the unusual labelling – Single Blended – on the newest Fuji Whisky expression.This is a special episode of Drinks Adventures, produced in partnership with Fuji Whisky.Coming up, Jota and I explore the many different facets that make Fuji unique, including its unwavering commitment to releasing whisky when all the component parts have reached peak maturity, rather than at a certain age.He shares his experience working at the distillery when Japanese whisky was at its lowest ebb, versus the boom times of today.As Jota explains, it's quite remarkable that Fuji-Gotemba survived the downturn at all, with another distillery, Karuizawa, famously shuttered during this period.Jota has also been actively involved in Japanese whisky industry activities to protect the integrity and reputation of Japanese whisky by assisting in the setting of labelling standards. We talked about those issues extensively with Dave Broom on the podcast in 2020.Now, Jota will update you on the current state of play, and I ask him whether the standards may have come too late for Japanese whisky, given the reputational damage that has already occurred.I'm really excited to present this interview that I recorded with Jota on his first visit to Sydney in March 2023.And if you're listening in Australia, Fuji Whisky Single Blended is exclusive to The Whisky Club as its whisky of the month for April 2023.Fuji Single Grain is available in select Dan Murphy's and First Choice Liquor stores nationally.There's only 300 bottles coming into Australia of Fuji Masterpiece 2022. Look out for that one in leading whisky bars near you.Click here to open episode in your podcast player.

***Please note the special time for this event, to accommodate the time zone of our guest and other Asia-based participants. “In order to let flowers live, we need to calm ourselves and empty our mind — otherwise, we cannot listen to what flowers tell us.” To Mayuka Yamazaki, a high-level business executive, ikebana — the ancient Japanese art of floral creations — is not just about arranging flowers. It is about attuning to the wisdom and beauty of nature and enriching our experience of being human. As a master of the art, she explains that ikebana is a word derived from the verb ikeru (to bring alive) and hana (flowers), or combined, “letting flowers live.” For over 20 years, Mayuka has been letting flowers live, and most recently, she has brought this practice to help restore wholeness to schools, international organizations, communities, and most notably, corporations. As a young child in Japan, Mayuka was drawn to “finding beauty in the small changes in nature and its seasons.” When she was 18, she began to learn ikebana as a hobby under Risen Kajikawa, a headmaster of ko-ryu shoreikai, one of the ikebana factions in Japan. After studying economics at Tokyo University and then working as a management consultant, her education took her to the United States, where she would graduate with honors at Georgetown University’s Graduate School of Foreign Service. On the outside, her life trajectory seemed clear. On the inside, however, Mayuka felt lost. Some years later, she found herself working at Harvard Business School (HBS) at a fortuitous time. HBS was trying to transform its education system and its new guiding principle was “Knowing, Doing, Being,” emphasizing the need to rebalance the head, hands, and heart. Mayuka realized that the heart, which ought to be her true inner compass, had been largely silenced by her focus on acquiring knowledge and skills. So she set about trying many things, from meditation practices to exploration circles with colleagues. What opened her heart the most was creating things — concrete things — like poems, stories, and paintings. This moved her from consumer to creator, from thinking to being. And one day, she had an epiphany that ikebana — which had begun as a beloved hobby but had over two decades become an art she would master — could be her career. Ikebana is an art of great subtlety and sophistication. Simple floral arrangements in Japan date back as early as the 7th century, beginning as simple Buddhist temple offerings that symbolized paradise. Today, it is a popular and innovative “living art” that continues to engage the ikebana artist in deep conversation with nature and her energies, equally incorporating the forms and empty space. In 2017, Mayuka launched an initiative called IKERU, with a vision of bringing the wisdom of ikebana into business and leadership development. Through IKERU, she offers individual and group sessions, inviting people to create harmony in themselves or their teams through practice of the art form. They also learn the challenge and beauty of creating something when they have no answers or directions. Mayuka sees herself more as a co-learner than a teacher: “While I acknowledge the value of the [traditional] apprenticeship model as a way of teaching, it may not be my way. For me, those who come to my lessons and workshops are not ‘apprentices’ to whom I transfer what I know. I have learned so much from them and they are ‘friends’ who explore the wisdom of ikebana together. And this is why I started IKERU — to let people simply enjoy ikebana itself outside the system, as well as why I have managed the IKERU community as openly and flatly as possible.” Prior to devoting herself to IKERU, Mayuka worked as Assistant Director of Harvard Business School Japan Research Center and visiting editor at the Harvard Business Review (Japan). With HBS professors, she co-authored over 30 HBS cases related to Japan, and played a critical role in designing and running the HBS immersive field course in the 3.11 disaster-affected Tohoku areas. She also worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. Previously only having lived in big cities, she moved in 2020 to Karuizawa, a small and beautiful town in the mountains, where she now lives with her husband and six-year-old daughter. She currently sits the boards of directors of three Japanese public companies. Please join us in conversation with this artist and changemaker, and dare to allow beauty to open us up to transformation!
