Those carvers need a lot of the credit I think not just the artist. All the detail...for example the movement in the humming birds' wings...<br /><br />Oh Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-69244075311433816032009-06-02T08:06:52.545+10:002009-06-02T08:06:52.545+10:00Polly, if you look back a little way I wrote a cou...Polly, if you look back a little way I wrote a couple of posts on Ukiyo-e woodblock printing.<br />It describes the history of the art form.<br /><br /> Moku Hanga is a derivative of that genre. When the style lost popularity after the opening of Japan to the West a group of artists endeavoured to resurrect the style and complete the entire woodblock printing process themselves - usually a team of artists work on one piece of work- this 'do it all yourself process' was called moku hanga. <br /><br />The entire revival of the ukiyo-e art form right up to present day is known as shin hanga.<br /><br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-23591767880024370262009-06-02T08:01:35.381+10:002009-06-02T08:01:35.381+10:00Meri,

Sometimes I see originals for sale when I google and copies are held in galleries all around the world as well as in private collections. <br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-30737788375795277852009-06-02T07:57:30.931+10:002009-06-02T07:57:30.931+10:00Natalie,

I like his father(Hiroshi)'s mokuhanga too, especially "sailing boats" series. <br /><br />Of the above mokuhangas, every piece is lovely.<br />Birds are very cute, aren't they? Wisterias are so romantic. And his "Mirage" reminds me of Mandala. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing these.
