The sample page

Asanagi Hanga. Woodblock print workshop in Shimizu, Shizuoka.

The idea

The workshop’s craft becomes the hero: a print pressed block by block, one color at a time, facing the bay at Shimizu.

What to try

Watch the print come together in six blocks, then print it again. At the end a grey heron appears on the shore, namesake of the boat Aosagi; then book a class and pick what to carve.
