So, is wood block printing similar to linoleum printing in the sequence of transferring color by carving out what you don't want to transfer anymore?

Yes, it's like the modern version of woodblock printing, its softer and easier to cut, however, I have yet to see any of the same quality as some Ukiyo-e I have seen.

beautiful work! i am currently writing a paper on the Ukiyo-e style of Japanese woodblock printing and this video has shed some amazing light on how its actually done. Cheers!

Cool. A couple NOOB questions tho. I'm assuming this method you do not need to carve out different plates for each colour. Does it take long for the paints/inks to dry before going onto another colour? Is there a specific order in which you apply the colours (ie: lights to darks). What is the best wood/material to use for a beginner?

Amazing work. I've done simple block prints but never more than a couple colors.

At an art class we were learning about wood block prints and Mr.Pajak one of our teachers found this on youtube and I was interisted to find it and I found it!

I can't believe that there are 17 colors in an average print. You did a very good job. Very informative!

Beautiful. Keeping a tradition alive like this is an act of sacrifice. It is therefore a hero's act to make the world a place where expression finds this old tradition and says something to us about the world around us, and links us to nature. Great video!
