Master Japanese woodcut techniques with precision
The sharp clarity of relief printing combined with watercolor's atmospheric qualities and transparency.
Justin walks you through the complete process across 208 pages, from selecting and preparing blocks to carving techniques, registration methods, and the distinctive printing approach that builds color through multiple impressions. Large format pages (8.5" × 10.25") provide clear detail of techniques and finished prints. The book addresses both traditional Japanese methods and contemporary Western adaptations, helping you understand the principles while developing your own approach.
Whether you're expanding from other relief techniques or starting fresh with printmaking, this hardcover reference explains the technical foundations that make water-based woodcut work. You'll learn to control moisture content, build transparent layers, and achieve the subtle color interactions that distinguish this process from other relief methods.
