【Mokuhanga Fundamentals - Core Skills to Successfullly Make your First Japanese Woodblock Prints】
Written by Terry McKenna, a mokuhanga artist from Australia who is currently active in Karuizawa.
During the corona pandemic, Terry created this material that generously shows off the know-how
about woodblock prints that he has developed so far.
We have succeeded in making it into a book through a joint project with our company, Michihamono.
This is the first basic edition ～Fundamentals ～ and is a full-length English explanation
that has never been seen before, and I would like to recommend it to overseas woodblock print fans.
Enjoy woodblock prints with a huge amount of information and easy-to-understand explanations by Terry!
