Explore Japanese woodblock printing, or mokuhanga<\/strong>, with a Michihamono kit that brings together tools for carving, preparing colour and printing by hand. Choose Standard for a five-tool selection and plastic baren, or Premium for seven WOODY tools and a bamboo-sheath Sosaku Sumi baren. Both options include the same core brushes, transfer materials and starting printmaking supplies.<\/p>\n Start with a clear, simple motif and plan the areas that should print. Transfer your drawing onto the plywood, carve away the background and use the trays and brushes to prepare and apply colour. The baren transfers the design to the paper by hand pressure, so a printing press is not needed for this process.<\/p>\n Take a trial impression before refining the block. Comparing the print with your drawing helps you judge which marks to keep and where to clear more material. The supplied printing sheets provide a starting quantity for learning the process; plan additional paper if you want to produce a larger series.<\/p>\n Japanese woodblock printing<\/a> · Setting up a printmaking workspace<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Choose Standard or Premium<\/h3>\n
