Printing by hand, he explores the tonal variations and delicate marks of Baren-suji that could not be achieved by using a printing press. “I effectively draw on the reverse of the paper after it has been placed on the inked up block. The translucency of the paper allows me to partially see what I am doing, however for the most part I am making these marks blind.” Learn More Support our season by helping us buy a piano!
