What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated

This is a guide to woodcut art according to Japanese technique, demonstrating it using one illustration of two ladies walking arm in arm.

Woodblock printing, or mokuhanga, is a technique used in art and book printing, used prolifically during the Edo period (1603-1868). It uses water-based inks unlike western woodcutting, providing a range of bright colours and glazes.

Bound with handmade paper in a concertina.

With the Japanese introduction accompanied by an English translation.

A wonderful insight into a popular and widely admired art form.

Condition

A concertina. Externally lovely. Small ownership inscription to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.

Fine
