Embrace the Delight - the August block set!

This next video from the Mokuhankan printmaking workshop in Tokyo is all about carving. Dave creates the block set that will be used to make the August prints in this year's subscription series: Embrace the Delight!
Bonus content includes a trip to his Ome home/workshop, glimpses of the Ninja who work/play across the street from the Asakusa shop, a (rare) segment on inlaying boxwood into a cherry block, and a selection of clips from recent live streams.
Update: the prints are now finished, and can be seen on their subscription page: mokuhankan.com/subscriptions/...

    I hate getting nostalgic, but I gotta say, seeing Dave work out of his own house at the 44:00 mark really makes me miss the old vids from 2013-2014 when he had the old Seseragi Studio. It was so peaceful seeing him work on the very first Jed Henry Ukiyo-e Heroes prints with just the sounds of rain, or running water, or birds chirping in the background. Good times.

    " [...] although, of course, that doesn't extend to the KZread algorithm [...]." You must be doing something okay, or making the algorithm like you in some way, because I somehow stumbled upon you yesterday thanks to KZread recommendations and a curious click. KZread steered me right, yesterday...! :o This is absolutely lovely to watch. Thanks for sharing your artistry with the world. The intermittent ninja attacks are really funny, and are kind of a joyful break from the otherwise peaceful, meditative work. This video was wonderfully put together! As an ex-artist, it's really satisfying to watch someone with such mastery over their craft create art like you are. I've always wanted to look more deeply into printmaking, but never really did beyond a basic overview in highschool I was lucky enough to have, where we made iterative, 3-color prints with a thin square of rubber, so I'm glad you're sharing your work so I can live vicariously through you, if only for ~1 hr. I don't know you/your channel/your studio, but I have a lot of respect for the work it looks like you and your team are doing - bravo!
