Drop in on a LIVE printmaking demo! Watch us pull multi-color prints and demo of the tools needed to make Japanese woodblock (or mokuhanga) prints. There will be antique Japanese prints and books to look at, including some vintage manga — just for fun! Or roll up your sleeves and get involved!
Mokuhanga is a Japanese water-based woodblock printing technique that uses natural pigments, rice paste, Japanese paper (washi), and simple hand tools to create vibrant, layered prints.
