Woodblock Printing Process - A Japan Journey

Is it the same wooden block covered by a different paint each time or is it multiple blocks, one for each color?

Beautiful

Thank you for gracing me with your presence at a dark hour in my life

There's something really ASMR about this.

Nice printing
I am indian

This makes me happy

Well done. Everything. I'll get wood to make a first trial. Just a single color. Inspired by this video.

So awesome! I love the image

How are the pigments transparent? What makes them transparent?

Omg thank you, this is so informative

धन्यवाद साहब
Thanks sir
Super

Isn’t this guy in the Charlie Daniels band?

I own an original triptych by Toshi Yoshida "Friendly Garden".
I deeply realize today only, thanks to that video, that I own a truly masterpiece.
I’m happy to have spent so much money to acquire it, it deserves it.

More videos please!! Thanks for all this beatiful workshops! Hugs from Perú!

I had no clue what woodblock printing was prior but I've watched this video like 15 times cuz it's so relaxing

Would have been nice to show how each wood block is made from the original artwork.

how do they always align the paper perfectly

looks awesome af

so beautiful to watch, how lovely

its like watching Bob Ross R.I P buth in modern version

This is so inspiring to watch. As a book collector of works by Hokusai, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Kuniyoshi and other masters, this is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Nice Nice,Nice! Thank you.

Absolutamente lindo

It's kinda strange to see him speaking English. I was like 'How could this craftsman speak English perfectly? Oh wait he's a Canadian'. I saw him several times on Japanese TV shows where he spoke only Japanese and explained the subtlety of woodblock printing, and I kinda forgot he was from a foreign country lol

Much respect for David. He started woodblock printing at the age of 35 and yet his enthusiasm and dedication made him a great artist

Was it hard getting Japanese citizenship

Anybody here who came because of "Ascendance of a Bookworm"?

Koreans do it better

Harikasınız
Çok çok teşekkürler

this gentleman gives me bob ross energy

Thank you for nicely illustrating how each element of the process works 🙏

A fascinating introduction to a subject I am only just discovering. When the artist creates the initial drawing that is used to create the wooden blocks, are they thinking about how the layering of the translucent colours needs to be implemented, or do the woodblock carver and printer need to work together to devise the process needed to create the finished print? Does the artist create individual drawings for each woodblock, or does the woodblock carver work out how to create each layer based on the artists initial drawing?

How does she keep it exactly in the same place between plates?

I had to watch this for my report and thanks to you, it’s almost done 💃🏻

I love the new direction Charles Manson has gone in! Awesome show! Great Job Charlie! 👍

David's voice, his talent and story telling ability make this channel so wonderfully relaxing and interesting. I fall asleep easily but never on David 😍

I am a printer. I run a Heidelberg 6 color printing press. I am absolutely fascinated by this process done by hand.

oh my god that is BEAUTIFUL

I don't get it, all you do is make woodblock prints? Don't you get bored of doing that? I could never do that over and over again.

the carver is the real hero here

this is gunna be a dead art in 20 years. Gen Z wont put the effort into learning this

what is that clear thing where you store the prints while you make a lot, whats it called?

We digital artists still use this technique today, we call the sets "Layers", and sometimes even simple looking images can have a dozen or more.

But to see it done successfully and carefully on paper printing is astounding.

How can she align it perfectly???? 🤯

Keep growing 💗💗 i really like your drawing I am from 💖😊 India lot's of Love 💕😘 from India

wow the color inside the lines matched perfectly with no overlay or missing space

I assume the pigment is sticky enough to hold the paper and keep it from sliding?

I’m here from the book ascendance of a bookworm.

I’m so blown away by what I just witnessed. How can I learn this medium of art?? My heart needs this! 😂 😅 Where do I begin? How can I transfer my art to Cherry-Wood to begin making my own prints? If anyone has any advice, please feel free to respond.

Thanks again for this post. New Subscriber.

I was so shocked! I thought he is gonna be a japanese.
