A Modern Guide to the Ancient Art of mokuhanga. An
increasingly popular yet age-old art form, Japanese woodblock
printing (mokuhanga) is embraced for its non-toxic character, use
of handmade materials, and easy integration with other printmaking
techniques. In this comprehensive guide, artist and printmaker
April Vollmer - one of the best known mokuhanga practitioners and
instructors in the West - combines her deep knowledge of this
historic printmaking practice with expert step-by-step instruction,
guidance on materials and studio practices, and a diverse
collection of prints by leading contemporary artists. At once
practical and inspirational, this handbook is as useful to serious
