In conjunction with the Center & Clark’s 2023-24 Core Program, Open Edo: Diverse, Ecological, and Global Perspectives on Japanese Art, 1603–1868, we are pleased to collaborate with Ukiyo-e Project to present a printing demonstration and workshop focused on ukiyo-e, a centuries-old style of art that flourished in the Edo period. These traditional Japanese woodblock prints feature multiple colors and are printed on fine washi paper.The demonstration and workshop will be led by printer Ogawa Nobuto. Born in 1990 in Tokyo, Ogawa is part of a family of printers dating back to the Edo period. He learned the craft from his master, who was once his grandfather’s disciple.
During the printing demonstration, the audience will have the opportunity to observe a copy of Hokusai’s famous work The Great Wave Off Kanagawa being printed from beginning to end, accompanied by a detailed explanation of the process by the printer Nobuto.
In the workshop, participants will get to try their hand at woodblock printing using the exact same process that was used back in the Edo period. Using a small woodblock, participants will have the opportunity to create a four-color print to take home and enjoy.
The workshop is free of charge and limited to 25 participants. Registration opens at 11:00 a.m. on March 26, 2024; complete the form at the "Tickets" link.
