The following video is a real treat and closely follows some contemporary Japanese woodblock artists working on a project concerning the remake of some iconic shunga art by Hokusai.
Deepest Respect
Inside you will discover detailed info on the woodblock printing process (what are the most difficult area’s to carve?) and also some fascinating insights on shunga art itself. It is fantastic to hear and see how these craftsmen speak with the deepest respect about Hokusai and shunga.
Telling
