It's interesting to see the modern highway with cars moving along in the background while watching a slow and traditional art form.

There are markers at edges of blocks.

what amazes me is the ability to keep his hands free of ink!

As someone who worked in the printing industry for a while, I can understand the skill necessary to get the colors to register correctly with hand tools. Let's hope this never dies out.

As someone who has some experience with woodcuts, I couldn't agree more. I find the inking process to be more nerve-wracking than cutting, as just one tiny misstep (not laying down enough ink, the block or paper shifting during the printing process, etc.) can ruin a print. Ukiyo-e takes great artistry, not only in making numerous woodblocks that all must fit together perfectly when printing, but also in applying the colors and the printing itself. It's absolutely astounding to me.

Extreme accuracy in printing. He made it effortlessly. A real master. Koto music is " autumn wind".

I learned a lot about this art in university and got fascinated. Amazing to see how it is actually done. The amount of skill!

I've loved Japanese prints for years now, but to gain an insight into how the early masters like Utamaro made their works is something else, really brought me in close, thank you

A painstaking but vibrant way to produce art. one mistake or slip at any stage and its scrap paper. Much talent to carve the more complex Ukiyo-e pieces. Now that I understand the process have a lot of respect for the Edo period artists and those that continue in this style today

man... carving such fine lines is a real nightmare to me and my classmates, i study art and whenever i set myself to make a very delicate woodblock with black and fine lines i have a really tough time, the way these artists do it so effortlessly make it seems almost easy

So wonderful to see the gentleman truly enjoys his craft. Love his smile at the end of the video. Such a beautiful print, amazed to see how precise the completed print is and yet the ease at which the gentleman works...such a seemingly effortless flow.

Ukiyo-e was not art back then. These were mass produced poster-like craft for common people. Publisher coordinated painter, carver, and printer to produce and sold them at stores. Though carver and printer, such as this man, were required to be highly skilled, only painter's name was used to market. This process division was commonly seen in craft and art production in old days in Japan. Swords were produced by steel makers, sword smiths, and grinders for example.

づんく Dzunku it is a nice example of predating graphic design, even though all three of them did unique work beeing worthy the title artist, their clever colaboration made it possible to produce art for the masses, also called graphic design. they are a great example for explaining the mere difference between design and art, also it must've inspired german design academy Bauhaus, where colaboration of different arts is a must. publisher gave the things needed and the mere idea, artist painted it carver carved the painting as negative and printer printed it on paper and for every layer the circle repeats. since it was sold as art it had the stamp from the artist.

I started watching the video for the printing, but then got entranced by the koto playing. Thanks for writing the music credits at the end of the video.

He looks so neat and comfortable. So cool

Breathtaking beauty! Thank you!

Magical!!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

absolutely beautiful and such skill x

That’s beautiful. Amazed at how quickly he registers the paper.

I keep watching this 24/7 this is very amazing work.

WOW.. so amazing artwork!

omg processing ink is probably the hardest thing in the world!!!!! how can he do it so perfectly!!!!! i now down to those skills!!!!!!!!

Damn impressive; he's so precise!

this takes an amazing amount of patience !

Superb craftsmanship, thanks for uploading 👍🏻

Inspiring to watch someone create a piece of art so peacefully. Japanese Zen.

BEAUTIFUL is not the word, there is a loot to learn from this...

He’s a real master. I enjoyed watching the process so much.

I had NO idea of the work involved in this beautiful art form. Thank you!

WOOOOW!!! I had no idea so much went into each work, I feel so silly now that I see what all the fuss is about. Thanks, Internet!

thank you thank you thank you This is a tonic to the soul. The expression on the faces, both of the audience and of the master, said it all.

Astounding skill and refinement.

My woodblock prints came out all right, but they never came out all beautifully lined up like that. I'm really impressed!

Hats off the artist in the video ....👍👍

It is an amazing chance to see the "process" and definite artistry of the printer. It gives a whole new way of actually viewing the historic prints...and combined artistry. "Simply" beautiful. Thank you.

SPECTACULAR! IM SPEACHLESS!

Awesome love your work!!!!

this is truly amazing

sin prensa y registra medio a ojo...un maestro!

Omg! The accuracy....🤯 👏👏👏👏Hats off to you yaar....👏👏👏👏

Maravilloso. Cuanto oficio y paciencia. ¡Gracias!

So beautiful, thank you

a master printer if ever there was - all his movements flowed

This is the best moku hanga video. Very authentic....shows all the details and the use of many blocks for just one print.

amazing painting

It's just amazing the know how of this old man (a japanese national tresory)

Maravilloso vídeo para comprender el grabado japonés. De lo mejor de KZread!

i can appreciate it now, after i saw someone in real life do it

Beautiful 😍

This is inspiring! What a very talented man! i want to do something like this for my art word at school but i don't have nearly enough talent ot do anything like that. Very impressed.

There's artistry in both ends of the production. 'Talent' is the wrong word, what you're seeing here is skill. You have to work very quickly with prints for them to turn out correctly, and then you have to consider that he has to get 17 colors printed consecutively with no room for error... and that's just a single print. The printer is responsible for producing the delicate fade of color you see in this art style, so the color and texture is almost solely dependent on the printer.

So slow and meticulous...such beautiful art 💜

I've been curious exactly how these are made for a long time. Thanks for sharing!

I thought that was so awesome. Thank you

Thanks a million for sharing this video.

Mesmerizing!

this is amazing!

Wow!!! What a skills!!!

Kirei, Its very beautiful

very detailed..nice!

Que delicadeza incomparável!!! Adorável

very interesting and beautiful to see!

It caught me off guard watching him start with the black linework, when doing reduction woodblocks I was taught to go from highest value to the lowest. Impressive mastery of the medium.

Büyük dikkat ve sabır gerektiren bir sanat, yapabilmeyi isterdim. Tebrikler.

Muy interesante video !!! Gracias por compartir.

wow this is true beauty

Gran trabajo...!

what a genius!

¡Que belleza!

reminds me of gravestone rubbing. interesting process.

bravissimo, bravissimo, ti stimo davvero molto *si inchina* anche io a scuola faccio cose simili anche se non giapponesi, quanto vorrei imparare la loro arte, io amo il Giappone ^^

very patient man...

Very cool video. What an amazing process. I wish I had more time to enjoy some personal fine art printing. Even with screen printing I can make some cool stuff ;) ☠

Ukiyo-e productions, painter, carver, printer, was an independent work. .

Amazing.......

He applies the black after he has already applied the gold in the dress. How does not the gold completely dissapear after a black ink is put all over it? Also the mastery of really not spilling any colour into one another parts of the drawing is utterly fascinating.
