Everyone here trusts you.”Ja: 展示品を見ている間も、佐藤の自由なペースに、遥は落ち着かない様子でした。En: Even while looking at the exhibits, Haruka felt uneasy at Sato's free pace.Ja: しかし、佐藤の無邪気な好奇心は他のチームメンバーをも自然に引き込んでいました。En: Yet, Sato's innocent curiosity naturally drew in the other team members.Ja: 遥は「このままではただの観光になってしまう…」と思い、予定を調整する決断をしました。En: Haruka thought, "At this rate, it will just turn into a tour...” and decided to adjust the plans.Ja: もっと柔軟にやってみることにしたのです。En: She decided to try being more flexible.Ja: その時、一同が目にしたのは、素晴らしい浮世絵の展示。En: At that moment, they all laid eyes on a splendid exhibition of ukiyo-e.Ja: 誰が一番興味深いものを選べるか、自然に浮かんだ議論が激しさを増しました。En: A discussion naturally arose about who could pick the most interesting piece, and the excitement increased.Ja: 「この色使いが好きだ！」と佐藤が言えば、「いや、この細やかな線がすごい！」と遥が反論します。En: “I like this use of color!” Sato said, to which Haruka countered, “No, these intricate lines are amazing!”Ja: その議論は和やかで、熱が入りました。En: The discussion was amicable yet heated.Ja: 意外にも、この議論でみんなが深く考え、お互いを理解するきっかけになりました。En: Unexpectedly, it became an opportunity for everyone to think deeply and understand each other better.Ja: 佐藤は新しい視点に気づき、遥もリラックスした雰囲気を楽しみました。En: Sato noticed new perspectives, and Haruka began to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.Ja: 帰る頃には、秋の空の下、皆は微笑みながら博物館を後にしました。En: As they left the museum under the autumn sky, everyone smiled.Ja: 遥は他のメンバーの違う側面を見て、彼らの価値を再認識しました。En: Haruka saw different sides of the other members and recognized their value anew.Ja: 「柔軟な姿勢も大切なんだな。」と彼女は学びました。En: “Being flexible is important too,” she learned.Ja: 佐藤も遥の真剣さを理解し、絵美子はその両者の調和を感じて喜びました。En: Sato also understood Haruka's seriousness, and Emiko felt joy in the harmony between the two.Ja: これからの仕事は、もっとスムーズに進みそうです。En: With this new understanding, future work seemed like it would progress more smoothly.Ja: チームはかつてなく結びつきを感じ、歴史を知る旅が、彼らの未来も照らしました。En: The team felt more connected than ever, and their journey through history also illuminated their future.

Puntata a cura di Untimoteo. Oggi presente sia su Netflix che su Prime Video, Mononoke è una serie anime in 12 episodi di 25 minuti. Il cartone ha origine nel 2006 come spin off di un'altra serie anime ovvero Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales. A quasi vent'anni dalla chiusura del primo ciclo di storie è stata annunciata una trilogia di film, in uscita tra il 2024 e il 2026. Una serie che ha svariati elementi in comune con l'arte e la tradizione giapponese, le Ukiyo-e, le stampe del periodo Edo e la ricerca stilistica della Secessione Viennese. Ha i tempi e la messinscena del teatro nō e della filmografia indipendente - non solo giapponese ma anche occidentale. Preferisce al logico susseguirsi degli eventi un incedere sbilenco e sognante. Tra trame avvolte di mistero, peccati da espiare e un protagonista che solleva più domande di quanto non dia risposte.“Animazione” è il format del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato alle diverse scuole ed espressioni del genere, dall'Oriente alla scena europea e americana.  Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/ Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoseriehttps://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/ https://twitter.com/mondoserie_it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

Brasserie Sixty6, Rustic Stone and Ukiyo are just three of the high-profile restaurant closures in Dublin this month. 577 eateries across Ireland have announced their closure over the past year, according to the Restaurants Association of Ireland. But how can so many food businesses be going to the wall when they appear so busy. Restaurateurs Vanessa Murphy and Anna Cabrera explain the tide their businesses are swimming against and the daily battle to keep afloat. Irish Times restaurant critic, Corinna Hargrave, explores the changes in consumer behaviour and market demands that are driving the shuttering of so many of our favourite places to eat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Restaurant Association of Ireland (RAI) have counted 577 restaurant closures between September 2023 and this past July - around two per day. Beloved Dublin eatery UKIYO, is another restaurant having to close its doors after 20 years of business. Co-owner Duncan Maguire and CEO of the RAI, Adrian Cummins join Anton to tell us more about these closures.

Dublin restaurant and karaoke bar Ukiyo is the latest in a fleet of restaurants across the country that have closed due to pressure on the hospitality sector. Bobby is joined by Independent Economist Jim Power and chef Kevin Dundon to discuss.

先週の金曜日は仕事が休みでしたから、美術館に行きました。とてもいい天気でした。美術館の名前はDulwich Piture Garallyです。私のうちの近くです。車で15分ぐらいです。今、日本の版画の展覧会をやっています。 日本の版画といえば、浮世絵が有名です。でも、この展覧会には北斎や広重の浮世絵はありません。江戸時代より、もっと新しい時代の作品を見ました。 展覧会のテーマは「吉田」という芸術家の家族です。 1900年ぐらいに、吉田博と吉田ふじをという夫婦がいて、二人とも芸術家です。たくさんの作品を残しています。特に吉田博の作品は有名です。私は、展覧会の中では吉田ふじをの、花のシリーズがとてもいいと思いました。色が鮮やかで、モダンです。見ていると、元気な気持ちになります。吉田家の子どもたちも版画家として成功しています。芸術家の家族ですが、一人一人の個性がぜんぜん違って、とてもおもしろかったです。 Last Friday I had the day off work, so I went to the museum. It was a very nice day. The name of the museum is Dulwich Piture Garally. It is near my house. It takes about 15 minutes by car. Right now they are holding an exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints. Japanese prints are famous for their ukiyo-e prints. But there are no Ukiyo-e by Hokusai or Hiroshige in this exhibition. I saw works from a more recent period than the Edo period. The theme of the exhibition is the Yoshida family of artists. Around 1900, there was a couple called Hiroshi Yoshida and Fujio Yoshida, who were both artists. They left many works. Especially, Hiroshi Yoshida's works are famous. I particularly liked Fujio Yoshida's flower series in the exhibition. The colours are vivid and they are modern. When I look at them, I feel energised. The Yoshida family's children are also successful woodblock artists. They are a family of artists, but each of them has a completely different style, which I found very interesting.

A new immersive exhibition in Milan is bringing the Japanese art tradition of Ukiyo-e to audiences in Italy. Translated as 'floating world on print,' Ukiyo-e was popular between the 17th and 19th centuries. Artists produced woodblock prints and paintings on numerous themes including landscapes, folklore and famous faces. “Ukiyo-e contains two words: 'ukiyo,' which means the floating world. Literally, it means contemporary world. But in this case, floating world, and 'e' which in Japanese is like prints, images and drawings,” explains Exhibit Director, Koji Ogawa. The genre had a huge influence in the West, especially with impressionist artists, creating a new art form in the late 19th century known as Japonism. “Ukiyo-e artists at first were influenced by the Western artists and architectures. Above all for the sense of perspective. Before in Japanese paintings, there were not such kind of stylistic perspective, and then thanks to the perspective in their prints, they influenced back the Western artists like the Impressionists, like Van Gogh and Gauguin. After Ukiyo-e there was this period called the Japonism,” says Ogawa. Among the various Ukiyo-e themes, particular relevance was given to landscapes, female faces and actors famed for Kabuki - a style of Japanese theatre that combines dramatic performance with traditional dance. “The exhibition develops in nine thematic rooms. Each represents one of the themes of Ukiyo-e. In particular, we have two new rooms, which were not present in Nagoya where the exhibit first took place. In particular, we have a Daruma on which prints are projected, and a room dedicated to Shunga, Japanese erotic prints,” says Sara Hailoua, the exhibit's press and media director. “Ukiyo-e had many themes and genres, one of these were landscapes, especially mountains and volcanoes, like the famous image of the wave with Mount Fuji in the background. The other themes were for example people, such as Kabuki actors and female beauties,” adds Higashiyama Takeaki, producer and general director of the exhibit. UKIYO-E: IMMERSIVE ART opened on April 4 and runs until June 16. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Lukujonossa keskustelemme Go Nagain ronskinraisusta klassikkosarjasta Devilman, joka 1970-luvulla rikkoi mangan rajoja. --- Kommentoi | Mastodon | Twitter (X?) | Instagram --- (01:00) – KUULUMISET: ÄÄNIJÄLKI - Afureko-blogi ja sen Äänijälki-podcast - Afureko Twitterissä - Nita Twitterissä - Mangakartan ja Äänijäljen ystävänpäivätempaus 2022 - Jakso 63, jossa puhuimme ystävänpäivätempauksesta alkukuulumisissa (03:56) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: ENNEN TEZUKAA - Jean-Marie Bouissoun tietokirja Manga: Histoire et univers de la bande dessinée japonaise - Ukiyo-e-puupiirrosteokset - Hokusai (13:04) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: 1940-LUKU - Petterin DesuTalks-luento Mies joka loi Osamu Tezukan (YouTube – videotallenne jäi traagisesti isoksi osaksi ilman ääntä, joka alkaa kuulua vasta noin tästä eteenpäin, jos volyymin säätää maksimiin) - Shin Takarajima (1947), Osamu Tezukan läpimurtoteos, joka on sittemmin nostettu modernin mangan alkupisteeksi ja peruskiveksi - Shin Takarajima olikin esillä myös British Museumin manganäyttelyssä vuonna 2019 - Tähän aikaan sarjakuvaa julkaistiin Japanissa lähinnä halpoina (kuva) ja tekijänoikeuksista välittämättöminä (kuva) akahon-julkaisuina, joiden seassa Tezuka erottui edukseen laadullaan - Fujiko Fujio -työpari muistelee jälkikäteen, miten päräyttävältä Shin Takarajiman näkeminen tuntui (kuva) - Floyd Gottfredsson ja hänen piirrostyylinsä, joka on tuttu kaikille vanhoja Aku Ankan taskukirjoja lukeneille - Squash & stretch on animaatioperiaatteista tärkeimpänä pidetty - Comics Journalin artikkelit: - Manga Finds Pirate Gold: The Case of New Treasure Island - Tezuka Osamu Outwits the Phantom Blot: The Case of New Treasure Island Cont'd - Sazae-san (1946–1974)  (19:47) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: 1950-LUKU - Osamu Tezukan nousukausi - Viidakon valtias (1950), maailmalla tutumpi jenkkinimellään - Petterin kirjoitus Viidakon valtiaasta Anime-lehden numerossa 3/2013 (pdf) - Astro Boy (1952) - Princess Knight (1953) - Tokiwa-so, jossa Tezuka asui 1953-1954 ja josta muodostui Tokion mangapiirtäjien keskus - Shotaro Ishinomori - Fujiko Fujio - Weekly Manga Times (1956) – kustantajansa mukaan ensimmäinen pelkkää mangaa julkaissut lehti (22:56) – MANGAN VUOSIKYMMENET: 1960-LUKU - Viikottaiset mangalehdet rytmittävät nuorten elämää: - Weekly Shonen Magazine (1959) - Weekly Shonen Sunday (1959) - Weekly Shonen Jump (1968) - Weekly Shonen Champion (1969) - Akahon-puolella synkempää ja rankempaa sarjakuvaa alettiin vuodesta 1957 alkaen kutsua gekigaksi (“dramaattiset kuvat”) vastareaktiona lehdissä julkaistavan ja lapsille soveltuvan mangan (“sutaistut kuvat“) suosiolle).

Aujourd'hui, je reçois Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, danseur, chorégraphe et metteur en scène. Il a choisi de défendre la place du corps et de la danse pour communiquer autrement, des matériaux humains pour construire des imaginaires, fragiles et nécessaires.  Pour la 20e édition de la Biennale de la danse à Lyon, Sidi Larbi présente Ukiyo-e, sa toute dernière création avec les 22 danseurs du Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, jusqu'au 19 septembre à la Maison de la Danse à Lyon. On l'écoute avec joie. Cet épisode a été imaginé avec la Biennale de la danse qui célèbre toutes les danses jusqu'au 30 septembre.

When making mokuhanga and producing The Unfinished Print, I have looked towards various online tools for research and inspiration. One of these tools is ukiyo-e.org. A Japanese woodblock print database which collects and archives woodblock print collections from around the world.  John Resig is the chief software architect at the Khan Academy who, in 2013, for his love of mokuhanga and the Japanese woodblock print, and through his own  collection, developed ukiyo-e.org.  Those researching, collecting, and making mokuhanga can explore some of the best Japanese print collections at the click of a button. In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with ukiyo-e.org developer John Resig about why he decided to create the website and how his collecting of mokuhanga and making mokuhanga affected that decision. We also discuss the evolution of the humanities in mokuhanga, archiving prints, tradition, and the copywriting of images, as well as John's work with the Japanese Art Society of America.  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. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. John Resig  - Ukiyo-e.org, Digital Humanities Research, John's personal mokuhanga collection on Airtable,   Sky Above Clouds IV: After Georgia O'Keefe (2019) Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) - is considered one of the last “masters” of the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese woodblock printmaking. His designs range from landscapes, samurai and Chinese military heroes, as well as using various formats for his designs such as diptychs and triptychs.  Five portraits of the actor Ichikawa Danjuro VIII (1823-1854) in various roles (1849) yakusha-e - (役者絵) is the Japanese term for actor prints in mokuhanga.  Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865) Tsukioka Yoshitoshi  1839-1892 (月岡 芳年) was a mokuhanga designer who is famous for his prints depicting violence and gore. His work is powerful, colourful, and one of the last vibrant moments of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints. More information about Yoshitoshi's life and his copious amount of work can be found, here.   Iga no Tsubone and the Ghost of Fujiwara Nakanari, from the series One Hundred Ghost Stories from China and Japan (1865) Annie Bissett - is an American mokuhanga printmaker and graphic designer based in Rhode Island, USA. Her work touches on politics, and beauty. Her interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here. Annie's work can be found, here. Irene (2023) Onchi Kōshirō (1891-1955) - originally designing poetry and books Onchi became on of the most I important sōsaku hanga artists and promotor of the medium. His works are saught after today. More info, here. Portrait of a Poet: Hagiwara Sakutarō (1886-1942) Meiji Era Prints - The Meiji Era of Japan was between 1868-1912 CE. This was a period of immense modernization and industrialization in Japan, where the Japanese economy was booming. New ideas within mokuhanga was occurring as well. Perspective, colour, through new pigments (gamboge, certain yellows), the advancement of photography, and new topics and themes (war, industry, architecture), the Meiji era print designer and publisher had a lot of choice when producing their prints.  Shigeru Kuriyama (1912-2010) - was a sōsaku hanga  printmaker who worked with Onchi Kōshirō (1891-1956), and U'nichi Hiratsuka (1895-1997). He founded the print magazine Yukari and Kasuri. His prints were focused on folk arts.   Fragrance of Lavender (1996) sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.  Your First Print: David Bull - this was the first DVD I ever purchased on how to make mokuhanga. This was in and around 2007. While I look back at that time thinking about why I didn't take it up as seriously as I do now, I sometime wonder, "Where would I be now in my Mokuhanga journey?" I realize that that is a redundant way of thinking. I am where I am now today, and to be happy with just that. You can still find this product on Dave's website.  Takuji Hamanaka - printmaker based in Brookly, NY. Uses bokashi,  a printmaking technique, predominately in his works. Unique and powerful. website Instagram Collapse (2016) April Vollmer - is an established artist who works predominantly in mokuhanga. Her book Japanese Woodblock Print Workshop is one of the most authoritative books on the subject and has influenced many mokuhanga artists. April's interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here. Wood Like Matsumura - is an online and brick and mortar store, for woodblock printmaking, located in Nerima City, Tōkyō. Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) - a watercolorist, oil painter, and woodblock printmaker. Is associated with the resurgence of the woodblock print in Japan, and in the West. It was his early relationship with Watanabe Shōzaburō, having his first seven prints printed by the Shōzaburō atelier. This experience made Hiroshi believe that he could hire his own carvers and printers and produce woodblock prints, which he did in 1925.  Kiso River (1927) kabuki - is a traditional form of Japanese theatre which started in Kyoto on the banks of the Kamo River in the 17th Century. Today it is a multi million dollar business and is almost exclusively run, professionally, by The Shochiku Company. Kabuki, the word, is separated into three different sounds; ka - meaning to sing, bu - meaning to dance, and ki- meaning skill. There are various families in kabuki which generate actors, passing down tradition throughout the lineage. For more information please read this fine article from Nippon.com. There are many books written on the subject of kabuki, but in my opinion, to begin, one needs to read Leonard Pronko's work Theatre East & West, Kawatake Toshio's Kabuki, and Earl Ernst's The Kabuki Theatre. Online, please visit Kabuki21.com, who's site is unparalleled. On YouTube there is the new(ish) Kabuki In-Depth which is updated regularly on kabuki information and history, and is very well done.  Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) was a renowned American artist, known for her pioneering contributions to modern American art, particularly in the realm of abstract and contemporary art. Lake George Reflection (1921) 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.  Bertha Lum (1869-1954) - was born in Iowa. Having begun travelling to Japan in 1903, Bertha Lum noticed the decline of the Japanese woodblock print in Japan in the early 20th Century, deciding to take up the medium. Lum began making woodblock prints after learning in Japan from an unknown teacher during her first trip to Japan. Japan, Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), and China influenced Bertha Lum's prints. Lum's work focused on these themes through an American lens.  Winter (1909) Frances Gearhart (1869-1958) - Born in Illinois, Gearhart was a self-taught artist who spent most of her life in California. Originally a watercolorist, Frances Gearhart began experimenting with Japanese woodblock and linoleum in and around 1913. The themes of her work are predominately landscapes of the Pacific Coast and other areas of California. Her work is associated with the Arts and Crafts movement in California. A fine article on Frances Gearhart's life can be found, here.  In The Sun (1930) Fujio Yoshida (1887-1997) - the wife of Hiroshi Yoshida and the mother of Tōshi Yoshida (1911-1995) and Hodaka Yoshida (1926-1995). Fujio was so much more than a mother and wife. She had a long and storied career as a painter and printmaker. Fujio's work used her travels and personal experiences to make her work. Subjects such as Japan during The Pacific War, abstraction, portraits, landscapes, still life, and nature were some of her themes. Her painting mediums were watercolour and oil. Her print work was designed by her and carved by Fujio.  Roses (1925) TinEye - is an image search and recognition company.

This week's episode I open up about the roots of my struggle with letting go and stress the importance of living in the moment. Ukiyo - Living in the moment detached from the bothers of life.

Creating mokuhanga can be a long journey. One reaches milestones within their artistic life where decisions are made, and questions asked. Can I do this for years to come? Does it make financial sense to continue working on making prints? Do I want to make this my career? Can mokuhanga sustain me financially, emotionally, and spiritually?  On this episode of the Unfinished Print, I speak with mokuhanga printmaker Stephen Winiecki, an artist who has explored mokuhanga through his experience in oil painting and linocut. Stephen is asking himself many questions like the ones mentioned above. We discuss Stephen's choosing to make mokuhanga a large part of his life and the desire to make it his career path. We talk process, his work with mokuhanga print designer and artist Jed Henry, planning a print, and how his passion for rock climbing motivates his work.  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. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Stephen Winiecki - website, Instagram.  linocut -A linocut is a relief or block print type, similar to woodblock printing. The artist carves an image into a linoleum block, printing what's left.  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.  Dave Bull fox moon video  Awagami -  is arguably the largest paper making company in Japan at the moment. With a large International name, Awagami sponsors, and promotes its paper all over the world. More information can be found on its website, here.  reduction printmaking - is a process in printmaking where the printmaker cuts away on a piece of wood, or linoleum. After every carving, the printmaker makes an impression with pigments, beginning with lighter colours, gradually using darker colours. William H. Mays has a fine description of reduction on his website, here.  registration - there are several registration methods in mokuhanga. The traditional method is called the kentō registration, where you carve two notches, straight another an "L." There is also a "floating kentō," which is where the notches are cut in a piece of "L" shaped wood and not on the wood where you are cutting your image, hence "floating." Lastly, there are removable "pins," such as ones made by Ternes Burton.  McClains Woodblock Print Supply Co.  - based in Portland, Oregon, McClain's is the go-to supplier of woodblock print tools in the United States. Their website can be found here. The Unfinished Print interview with Daniel Jasa of McClain's can be found here. Jed Henry - is an American artist and graphic designer. His work with woodblock prints is as designer. He works with Mokuhankan, as well as various other mokuhanga artists who carve/laser, and print his designs. His work under the Ukiyo-e Heroes banner is very popular.  monotype print - is a unique print created from an image painted or drawn on a smooth surface, such as glass or metal, and then transferred to paper. Unlike most printmaking methods, where multiple copies of the same image can be produced, a monotype typically has a single, one-of-a-kind image. It's called a "mono" type because it is not part of an edition like traditional prints (e.g., lithographs, etchings), where you can make multiple copies.  Dick Blick Art Supplies - is an art supply store with various brick and mortar stores throughout the United States, as well as online. Founded in 1911 by Dick Blick in Galesburg, Illinois, BLICK, as it's more commonly known, sells various types of art supplies, much like Jerry's Artarama. More info, here. Cameron Bailey - is a mokuhanga woodblock printmaker based in Queens, New York. His work is predominantly reduction woodblock. Camerons work has shown around the world. You can listen to one of his earliest interview on The Unfinished Print, here. His work can be found, here.  Eruption, After D'Anna (2022) 17x23" Lake George, New York - Is a small town located in the Adirondack mountains in New York State. There are plenty of exciting things to do in an around the town and within the Adirondack mountains.

He is a Living National Treasure in paper making, and the ninth generation of his family still making paper today. More info can be found here in English, and here in Japanese.  Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) - a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, Kawase Hasui, is one of the most famous designers of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career with the artist and woodblock designer Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies early in his career. It wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he began to gain recognition. Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) had Hasui design landscapes of the Japanese countryside, small towns, and everyday life. Hasui also worked closely with the carvers and printers of his prints to reach the level Hasui wanted his prints to be.  Yumoto Spa, Nikko (1937) 15x10" shin hanga - is a style of Japanese woodblock printmaking which began during the end of the ukiyo-e period of Japanese printmaking, in the early 20th Century. Focusing on the foreign demand for “traditional” Japanese imagery and motifs such as castles, bridges, famous landscapes, bamboo forests, to name just a few.  Shin hanga was born in 1915 by Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) when he found Austrian artist Frtiz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned Capelari to design some prints for Watanabe's feldgling printing house . From there shin-hanga evolved into its own distinct “new” style of Japanese woodblock printing. It lasted as this distinct style until its innevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). Dahlia (1940) 10.5x15.7" by Kawase Hasui Seki Kenji - is a woodblock printmaker based in Tōkyō.

They created the Cuphead character, which Stephen made a print on.  Cuphead Skullman 8x15" Cal Carlisle -  an American printmaker based in Cleveland, Ohio, who has sold his original prints and worked for print designer Jed Henry.

The history of mokuhanga in Canada is small, yet strong. There are Canadian mokuhanga printmakers who have helped grow the art form in Canada and throughout the world, such as Walter J. Phillips (1884-1963), David Bull, Elizabeth Forrest, Barbara Wybou, to name but a few. But what if there was a tradition of printmaking you could never think have a connection with Japanese mokuhanga, thriving and growing in the Canadian Arctic?  Norman Vorano is the Associate Professor of Art History and Head of the Department of Art History and Conservation at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. In 2011 Norman published a book, with essays by Asato Ikeda, and Ming Tiampo, Inuit Prints: Japanese Inspiration.  This book opened me to the world of how various print traditions, so far away from each other, could influence one another. In this case, the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic in what is now known as Kinngait, have built one of the most thriving and economically sustainable print traditions in the world. But what I didn't know is that mokuhanga and the Japanese print tradition had a huge part to play in their early success.  I speak with Professor Norman Vorano about Inuit history and culture, how the Inuit print tradition began, how an artist from Toronto made his way to the Arctic, then to Japan, then back to the arctic, changing everything. Norman also speaks on how the work of sōsaku hanga printmaker U'nichi Hiratsuka influenced the early Inuit printmakers, and we discuss tools, pigments, and the globalization of art.  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. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Norman Vorano PhD - is Associate Professor of Art History and Head of the Department of Art History and Conservation at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. For more information about Inuit printmaking and their association with mokuhanga you can get Norman's book, Inuit Prints: Japanese Inspiration (2011). For additonal information about Inuit printmaking and mokuhanga, Norman lectured on the subject for The Japan Foundation Toronto in 2022. The online lecture can be found, here.  A few topics that Norman and I really didn't have a chance to explore, but alluded too, was process. As wood is scarce in the Arctic, stone carving (soapstone), and linocuts are and were used. Also there is a chain within Inuit printmaking much like the hanmoto system of mokuhanga in Japan, where the Print Studio chooses images drawn by others in the community and those images are carved and printed by carvers and printers associated with the Print Studio in the Kenojuak Cultural Center in Kinngait, and then sold to the public.  Queens University at Kingston - is a public research university located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. What began as a school for the Church of Scotland in 1841 has developed into a multi faculty university.

It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.    Un'ichi Hiratsuka (平塚 運一) - (1895-1977) - was one of the important players of the sōsaku hanga movement in mokuhanga. Hiratsuka was a proponent of self carved and self printed mokuhanga, and taught one of the most famous sōsaku hanga printmakers in Shikō Munakata (1903-1975). He founded the Yoyogi Group of artists and also taught mokuhanga at the Tōkyō School of Fine Arts. Hiratsuka moved to Washington D.C in 1962 where he lived for over thirty years.

In 1925 he coined the term mingei (rural crafts), which he believed represented the “functional beauty” and traditional soul of Japan. While on paper an anti-fascist, Yanagi's early views on the relationship of art and people, focusing on the group and not the individual, going back to a Japanese aesthetic; veering away from Western modernity, was used by Japanese fascists leading up to and during the Pacific War (1941-1945). For more information about Yanagi and the mingei movement in Japan during war time check out The Culture of Japanese Fascism, Alan Tasman ed. (2009) mingei movement - began with the work of Yanagi Sōetsu in the 1920's. The movement wanted to return to a Japanese aesthetic which honoured the past and preserved the idea of the “everyday craftsman,” someone who went away from industrialization and modernity, and fine art by professional artists. It was heavily influenced by the European Arts and Crafts Movement (1880-1920) as conceived by Augustus Pugin (1812-1852), John Ruskin (1819-1900), and William Morris (1834-1896).    Oliver Statler (1915-2002) -  was an American author and scholar and collector of mokuhanga. He had been a soldier in World War 2, having been stationed in Japan. After his time in the war Statler moved back to Japan where he wrote about Japanese prints. His interests were of many facets of Japanese culture such as accommodation, and the 88 Temple Pilgrimage of Shikoku. Oliver Statler, in my opinion, wrote one of the most important books on the sōsaku-hanga movement, “Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn.”   Stuben Glass Works - is a manufacturer of glass works, founded in 1903 in New York City.

There has been some attempts by the Japanese goverment to preserve Ainu heritage and language but the Ainu people are still treated as second class citizens without the same rights and prvileges of most Japanese.

The relationships made in mokuhanga can last a long time. Whether it's a friendship based on collecting, creating, or its long and vibrant history; mokuhanga has the ability to bring people together.  On this episode of The Unfinished Print I have the pleasure of speaking to two people who's friendship is based on mutual respect, business, and the love of mokuhanga. Katherine Martin is the managing director of Scholten Japanese Art of New York City. She has overseen the galleries multiple exhibitions, written several catalogues published by Scholten, and is the heart of what goes on at the gallery. Paul Binnie is an acclaimed mokuhanga printmaker, painter and artist. He has collaborated with Katherine at Scholten Japanese art for almost fifteen years.  We first discuss Katherine's background, and her work with the gallery. Then, Katherine and Paul talk about the relationship between the gallery and the artist, the legacy of shin-hanga, how prints draw people in, and pricing Paul's work. We also discuss about editioning prints and the issues that may arise, nudity and social media, and we end on Katherine and Paul's unique friendships and how it works. This interview was recorded during Paul Binnie's solo show at Scholten Japanese Art in June, 2022. There may be some background noise during the interview. I apologize for any inconvenience.  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.

Focusing on the foreign demand for “traditional” Japanese imagery and motifs such as castles, bridges, famous landscapes, bamboo forests, to name just a few.  Shin hanga was born in 1915 by Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) when he found Austrian artist Frtiz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned Capelari to design some prints for Watanabe's feldgling printing house . From there shin-hanga evolved into its own distinct “new” style of Japanese woodblock printing. It lasted as this distinct style until its innevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) - a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, Kawase Hasui is one of the most famous designers of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career with the artist and woodblock designer Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies along the way early in his career. It wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he really began to gain recognition. Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) had Hasui design landscapes of the Japanese country-side, small towns, and everyday life. Hasui also worked closely with the carvers and printers of his prints to reach the level Hasui wanted his prints to be.  Late Fall by Lake Yamanaka (1947) Tsuchiya Kōitsu (1870 - 1949) - apprenticed under artist and print designer Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915), and worked as a lithographer. Kōitsu then joined the Watanabe atelier in 1935. Kōitsu also collaborated with Doi Sadachi publishers, amongst others.  Cormorant Fishing in Nagawa River (1940) Itō Shinsui (1898-1972) - Nihon-ga, and woodblock print artist and designer who worked for print publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962). Shinsui designed some of our most famous shin hanga, or “new” prints of the early 20th century. One of my favorites is “Fragrance of a Bath” 1930. Twelve Images of Modern Beauties: Cotton Kimono (1922) Hiroaki Takahashi Shōtei (1871-1945) - was a Japanese printmaker, illustrator and painter. He is commonly associated with the shin-hanga movement of printmaking in Japan, working with Watanabe Shōzaburō. His work touched on many subjects, such as landscapes, beautiful women and still-life.  Evening Sun at Nagareyama (1924-27) Yamamura  Koka (1885-1942) - was a Japanese woodblock printer and painter who trained under Ogata Gekkō (1859-1920). He worked with Watanabe and other publishers in his lifetime, and self published. His themes ranged from actor prints, lasdscape, and still-life.  Flowers of the Theatrical World: Nakamura Utaemon V as Owasa (1921) Natori Shunsen (1886-1960) - was a Japanese woodblock printer who focused much of his work on kabuki actor prints. He too worked with Watanabe.  Bando Mitsugoro VII (1950's) Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) - a watercolorist, oil painter, and woodblock printmaker. Is associated with the resurgence of the woodblock print in Japan, and in the West. It was his early relationship with Watanabe Shōzaburō, having his first seven prints printed by the Shōzaburō atelier, that made Hiroshi believe that he could hire his own carvers and printers and produce woodblock prints, which he did in 1925.  Ishiyama Temple (ca. 1946) Sotheby's -  established in 1774 in London, England by bookseller Samuel Baker. It is the oldest auction house in the world, with offices located around the world. More info can be found, here.    Watanabe's foray into exhibting Japanese prints abroad can be read in this fine article by The Asian Art Newspaper, online, here. The article discusses Watanabe';s relationship with Itō Shinsui.    bokashi -  is a Japanese term associated with the gradation of water into ink. There are several types of bokashi. For more information regarding these types of bokashi please check out Professor Claire Cuccio's lecture called “A Story in Layers,” for the Library of Congress, and the book Japanese Printmaking by Tōshi Yoshida, and Rei Yuki. Below are the following types of bokashi. This is from the Yoshida book: ichimonji bokashi - straight line gradation ichimonji mura bokashi - straight line gradation with an uneven edg. Ō-bokashi - a gradual shading over a wide area atenashi bokashi - gradation without definition futairo bokashi - two tone gradation bijin-ga - (美人画) is the Japanese term for beautiful women in mokuhanga.  The Second Collection of Modern Beauties: Red Blossoms by Itō Shinsui (1933) kabuki - is a traditional form of Japanese theatre which started in Kyoto on the banks of the Kamo River in the 17th Century. Today it is a multi million dollar business and is almost exclusively run, professionally, by The Shochiku Company. Kabuki, the word, is separated into three different sounds; ka - meaning to sing, bu - meaning to dance, and ki - meaning skill. There are various families in kabuki which generate actors, passing down tradition throughout the lineage. For more information please read this fine article from Nippon.com. There are many books written on the subject of kabuki, but in my opinion, too begin, one needs to read Leonard Pronko's work Theatre East & West, Kawatake Toshio's Kabuki, and Earl Ernst's The Kabuki Theatre. Online please visit Kabuki21.com, who's site is unparalleled. On YouTube there is the new(ish) Kabuki In-Depth which is updated regularly on kabuki information and history, and is very well done.  giclee -  is a type of reporoductive process in printmaking.

As Paul informs in our interview there is a tattooed version and non-tattoo version of these particular prints.    Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865) - arguably one of the more important woodblock print designers, Kunisada designed many types of prints, from landscape, books, erotica, sumo etc.  Kunisada worked during the period of ukiyo-e history with Andō Hiroshige (1797-1858), Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), and the above mentioned Kuniyoshi.

In this world of mokuhanga, there are artists whose passion and dedication to the art form comes not only from their work, but from how they see the medium itself. Linda J Beeman is a Michigan based mokuhanga printmaker who desires to explore nature, its conservation, its power through colour, its meaning, and aesthetic. Linda's work takes the viewer to an existing place, which when allowed in, soothes and calms, enveloped by the sacred. On this episode of The Unfinished Print I speak with Linda J. Beeman about her world, natural and artistic, how she got involved with mokuhanga, how she views her audience, her style. We discuss her time at MI Lab, and her love of artist-in-residence programs in the United States. Linda also speak on her process, her tools, and why mokuhanga is such a big part of her life.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints Twitter @unfinishedprint, or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Artists works follow after the note about them.

His relationship with many of Japan's future woodblock stars, such as Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950), and Hasui Kawase (1883-1957) established a mokuhanga style that has been emulated ever since.   Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park - found in Ontanagan, Michigan, USA.

Plus de 15 années après sa sortie initiale, Okami reste un titre unique au sein du paysage vidéo-ludique. Entre sa direction artistique inspirée des estampes traditionnelles du style Ukiyo-e, son pinceau Céleste qui nous permet d'interagir avec la nature et les facéties d'Amaterasu, le titre de Clover Studio possède une fraîcheur qui semble résister au passage du temps. Et c'est peut-être aussi pour ça que malgré une sortie commerciale catastrophique, le Zelda-Lite de Kamiya revient encore et toujours, autant dans les conversations que sur les hardwares les plus récents. Fin Du Game revient sur ce titre culte, ses inspirations et son rendez-vous manqué.Merci à nos patreotes qui financent l'émission sur https://www.patreon.com/findugameRejoignez le club de lecture sur Discord : https://discord.gg/YTGbSkNLa chaîne Twitch : https://www.twitch.tv/findugamejv

Ō-bokashi or wide gradation, Ate-nashi-bokashi or gradation without definition.

On this episode of The Unfinished Print it is with honour, and great pleasure that I am able to present to you, my interview, with British  artist Rebecca Salter. We speak on her mokuhanga, her own work and work produced together with the Satō woodblock workshop in Kyōto. We discuss where Rebecca believes mokuhanga has gone since writing her book, Japanese Woodblock Printing (2001), a book which constantly inspires me in my own work. This book helps me to understand, what has felt at times to be such an esoteric and complicated art form, just a little bit more.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints Twitter @unfinishedprint, or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com Notes: may contain a hyperlink.

Akira Kurosaki 黒崎彰 (1937-2019) - one of the most influential woodblock print artists of the modern era. His work, while seemingly abstract, moved people with its vibrant colour and powerful composition. He was a teacher and invented the “Disc Baren,” which is a great baren to begin your mokuhanga journey with. At the 2021 Mokuhanga Conference in Nara, Japan there was a tribute exhibit of his life works. Azusa Gallery has a nice selection of his work, here. intaglio printmaking - is a style of printmaking, the opposite of relief printmaking, where scratches are made with a burin on the plate (copper, zinc, aluminum) and then dipped in acid. Ink and pigment is rubbed on with a brayer, brushes, etc. More info can be found, here.    scrolls - called kakemono 掛物 or emakimono 絵巻物  in Japanese. These scrolls contain many different types of themes and subjects. More info can be found, here. monoprint - is a print made from a re-printable block, such as wood, or an etched plate. It is usually a one and done type of printing with only one print being made. blue and white Japanese ceramics - are ceramics made for the Japanese market. Originally imported into Japan in the 17th Century from China, local Japanese ceramists from northern and southern Japan began locally producing ceramics. As trading with the Dutch escalated more porcelain wares were being imported from Europe into the Japanese port of Imari. Imari became the word to describe these types of blue and white ceramics.  Genji Monogatari emaki - is an elaborate scroll produced in 12th Century, Japan. It is based on the famous Tale of Genji, a tale written in the 11th Century and is attributed to Murasaki Shikibu (around 973-1014).

Led by the Tokugawa family, Edo period culture flourished in theatre, literature, and the arts. For a fantastic book on the subject please seek out, Edo Culture: Daily Life and Diversions of Urban Japan by Kazuo Nishiyama (trans. Gerald Groemer) and Edo Kabuki in Transition: From the Worlds of the Samurai to the Vengeful Ghost by Satoko Shimazaki.  Edo v. Kyōto Kabuki - kabuki theatre is a bombastic and powerful theatre from Japan. In its long history it has been generally attributed to both  Edo (Tōkyō) and Kyōto.  Edo kabuki is called aragoto kabuki and Kyōto kabuki is called wagoto kabuki. Aragoto kabuki is generally very loud and external, whereas Kyōto kabuki is more understated and gentle.  Satō woodblock workshop - is a traditional Japanese woodblock production house based in Kyōto, Japan. Here is an article from The Journal of Modern Craft with Rebecca Salter regarding this workshop.  Japanese woodblock of the 1950's and 1960's - post-war Japan was growing at an exponential rate, and this was true for the Japanese woodblock print. As the sōsaku-hanga movement began to out last the shin-hanga of the 1920's in terms of production, where most people could produce prints on their own,  American scholars , Oliver Statler (1915-2000), and James Michener (1907-1997), helped catalogue and document the burgeoning Japanese woodblock print movement through their books, The Floating World (1954), by Michener, and Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn (1956) by Statler, for a Western audience. Along with the Western art scene and the 1951 São Paulo Art Biennial, Japanese woodblock prints began to be respected as a stand alone piece of fine art.  kozo paper -  is paper made from mulberry bark and is commonly used in woodblock printmaking, and cloth.  Echizen, Fukui - is a city located tin the prefecture of Fukui. The paper produced from this region is kozo, mitsumata, and gampi.  More information can be found from the website of Echizen Washi Village. Mosquito net technique - is a technique in ukiyo-e, and can of course be reproduced by the modern mokuhanga practitioner, where very fine lines are carved on two wood blocks and, when printed together, create the image of slight, thin netting. Rebecca Salter details this technique in her book, Japanese Woodblock Printing (2001)   Yale Center for British Art - located in New Haven, Connecticut, the YCBA is dedicated to British art of all types.  Louise Caan - is a British architect and teacher based in Oxford where she teaches architecture at the Oxford Brookes School of Architecture.  urushi zuri - is a technique which is used in traditional Japanese woodblock and mokuhanga, where pigment is mixed with nikawa (animal glue), and printed to enhance the enjoyment of the print. Usually seen in black hair, or garments represented in the print.  Japanese museums dedicated to Japanese woodblock -  if you are visiting Japan and are interested in the Japanese woodblock print you are spoiled for choice. This list is definitely not complete so I would advise doing some research for local museums which may be open in different parts of Japan you may be visiting. This list is a mix of museums dedicated specifically to the woodblock print, or museums dedicated to woodblock print artisans.  Finally, check online for larger art museums , galleries, and department stores, in the area that you're visiting to see whether they are having any shows dedicated to woodblock print artists, genres, etc. while you're there.

Ukiyo-e prints often lampooned authority with their imagery. Other artistic pursuits in Japan at the time, such as kabuki theatre, did the same. In ukiyo-e and Tokugawa history there were “reforms” which the bakufu created in order to stem this type of criticism.

How does one get a job at on of the most sought after positions in the mokuhanga community, Mokuhankan, and go on to be a large part of the success of the company while there?
