Pretty amazing that this design is over a century old but looks contemporary enough to have been created yesterday! What a great artform you're keeping alive Dave.

Thank you sincerely for sharing your knowledge. I have found this and the longer version extremely useful, small unspoken details I could never have seen in a book.

Thank you so much for these videos, I'm always left in awe.

I just subscribed to a channel about people making prints on wood. Why on earth I find this so facinating I cannot tell, but I have the feeling you earned it. Good luck in 2018!

This is so inspiring and relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work!

Well filmed and very straightforward teaching method. Thank you for the tutorial

Definitely the best 40min+ KZread video I have watched to date. I may have to watch the full version to see if I missed anything.

This has taken off the mystery of woodblock printing

Beautiful! What craftsmanship and the design is so simplistic yet stunning! 🎇✨

I haven't been able to catch a stream in a few months because of life but seeing this makes me want to come back as soon as possible. I'll see if I can shift my schedule around to catch my favorite craftsmen more often.

love your videos always dave! thank you for all your hard work ☺️

This was really fun to watch.

Love you David! Lots of support from Korea

I believe he said that the water in that round bowl is used to defuse the light and not cast hard shadows on the wood while carving it with the chisels. I hope that's the lamp you're referring to.

Wonderful.. loved watching this.

I loved watching this.

Very impressive. Spot on!

It makes you really appreciate yoshida even more considering how complicated, how many colors etc. I myself am a professional landscape artist working in oil and watercolor here in the US. I work on location plein air a lot and have been really thinking about how to apply woodblock printing as a plein air medium. I think you can create the topography of a scene outdoors on a series of blocks and perhaps wait to come back when the light is the same OR you could even change the color on the blocks to fit as close to what you see at the moment you begin applying color. Or you could do the topography outdoors and apply color from memory in the studio. I'd like to surprise some of the plein air festivals I am juried into with some woodblock prints on the wall. Something not seen at plein air shows.

Wonderful video, David. Good edit:)

Amazing thanks for this. I hope to visit your shop some day.

@David BullI: saw the ukiyo-e heroes documentary on a flight coming back from Japan (in dutch hehe). I liked it a lot. Now 2 months later I got the great kanagawa wave ukiyo-e (which I liked before too) as a birthday gift. But also ordered some - very nice- tools in England to get started which arrived recently. Will use this video as an example (also the picture) as a guide to get started. Saw most of the videos already.... you are such a good storyteller and cant stop watching... This year is gonna be my 4rd trip to Japan so I will pass by the shop definitely!! gotta question: the scope you are using: what's the brand and type? My eyes are deteriorating but still plan to do some detailed things (haha probably in the future with some better wood).

The scope I use is made by Meiji here in Japan. I bought it from Ebay US when an electronics factory over there was closing. Here's a page on the Meiji website that outlines the EMZ series - I have the most basic model: meijitechno.com/meiji_old/emz.htm

I can officially say that I bought that print in the Asakusa shop!

Very enjoyable video.

Beautiful!

I really love your art and videos. I hope to purchase and further support this channel!

Brilliant!

Dave-san, I use the same transfer process (but just using regular A4 paper) to put images onto bone or Chinese bakelite Mahjong tiles when I'm making copies of missing tiles. But I use a dental drill with sub-millimetre steel burrs to do the carving, my skills with a chisel are not that good! Another really good instructional video, and your bathing lady is just gorgeous! Thank you.

Dear Tony, based on my experience with hurting wrist joints, I am being quite impressed by your idea to use a dental drill (or some kind of delicate drill like „Dremel“ products), I would like to ask you: first, are you able to achieve very fine excavations ? Second, do you obtain some sort of a slope on the remaining sides of the wood, so as to stabilize the structures left for printing ? Third, what kind of drill heads do you use...and how would they perform in old, rather hard, full-thickness cherry or pear wood blocks, presumably ? Very much I would appreciate your answer, as I am really seeking for a solution of an increasing problem of mine...thank you indeed, Konrad from Germany (dr.konrad.d@hlem.net)

@tonywatson987

6 жыл бұрын

Dr. Konrad Dahlem, a Dremel-style tool would work fine, but I would only use it with the flexible shaft, as it gives much more freedom of movement. The dental tool I use is a Chinese model with removable straight and angled heads, which take either long- or short-shank burrs. (But... I find there is too much slop on the angled, short-shank head, so I only use the long-shank head - zero slop.) I buy sub-millimetre steel dental burrs online, and even grind those down to give me the fine lines needed for the detail on bone mahjong Flower tiles, which are 30x22mm normally. So they are well able to cope with a hard fruitwood. Hope this helps!

Dear Tony, my sincere thanks for your extremely speedy and helpful answer ! Yet, may I bother you with additional questions...? First, in case you rather recommend the Chinese drill, would you be so kind as to name the maker and model ? Second, the drill heads mentioned, would you give me a hint, where to get them...and which ones you regard as the ultimate „must-haves“ ? Again, let me express my gratitude for your help 🤸🏽‍♂️, Konrad

David, absolutely fascinating. I'm also a displaced Canuck. I'm from Ottawa now in Charlotte, NC. Do you get back home much?

Hey David, I've been watching almost every video on your channel lately, and I was wondering if you had a video, or could make one more in depth on registration. If you've gone over it somewhere else, patrion, twitch, etc, point me towards it. If not, a more indepth video would be appreciated. You make it seem effortless, but I know it will take me years to get to that point, and any insight would help. Keep making videos, we all love them!

thank you

Hola se puede usar un fotocopia común y cola vinílica o especial , buenísimo trabajo,

Oh hey, I've reblogged this print on Tumblr a few times... lol Would be cool to own a physical copy someday.

These wood blocks are like the recording of a ballet or performance of an instrument.

Whoever mentioned the zzzzzttt zzzztttt tool to remove major hollows/ no ink spaces was referring to the Foredom handle for reciprocating saws and chisels made specifically for the handle. You can place the motor in a manner to suppress the sound, but you’ll need a fan as it does get rather hot. I only use it in very specific large pieces or when I don’t have to be exact just yet. Whoops sorry this is 2 years away

Hello David, Would you recommend using a printer or photocopier to transfer the design image to the gampi paper? Thanks,

Yes, this is how we ourselves (mostly) do it. You can still draw directly onto the gampi paper, or you can back it with something stronger, and run it through whatever machine you like.

Thank you so much for your videos, Dave-san! Is Nori Paste the same as rice paste? Isn't Nori was made from seaweed. I also thought that rice paste was traditional because of its glutenous qualities, although in the USA people like to remind me that "there is no gluten in rice"... I thought the "glutenous quality of rice paste" refers to its kind of gluey- quality. Thank you for any clarity on this matter! Great job by the way in your for the great demo on Ichijo Narumi's design

Hi anyone/David, when you turn the first piece of wood over to do the hair, how do you know that it will be synced up with the head/pic??

@Its_MrPotato_Head

5 жыл бұрын

he synced the prints with the registration on the side of the block. notice that the cross he drew and crave on bottom left side and a little nodge in upper-middle of the block. He applied the registration on the both side of the block .so no matter what he do , he just follow the registration and voila you got your print sync. I believe he used a specific type of registration called the Kanto registration.

Is it possible that you could share the Illustrator tracing of the original file that you mentioned the Twitch users sent to you? Having the vector version would be very helpful for me! Thank you for your helpful and inspirational work.
