In this video I show the step by step process of carving and printing the first color proofs of our Hasui reproduction titled "Moon at Matsushima". I'm exploring the linocut technique by attempting to replicate a traditional "Shin Hanga" style Japanese woodblock print. I'll show how I transfer the image to the blocks, carving with traditional tools, and printing the final proof. Please subscribe for more linocut, carving, and mokuhanga videos.
