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
printmakers and artists as it is to creative people drawn to
Japanese history and aesthetics. Hardcover: 256 pages ISBN-13:
