SUMMARY:Ukiyo-e Printing Demonstration and Workshop with Ogawa Nobuto
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Center &amp\; Clark’s 2023-24 Core P
 rogram\, Open Edo: Diverse\, Ecological\, and Global Perspectives on Japan
 ese Art\, 1603–1868\, we are pleased to collaborate with UKIYO-E PROJECT
  to present a printing demonstration and workshop focused on ukiyo-e\, a c
 enturies-old style of art that flourished in the Edo period. These traditi
 onal Japanese woodblock prints feature multiple colors and are printed on 
 fine washi paper.\n\nThe demonstration and workshop will be led by printer
  Ogawa Nobuto. Born in 1990 in Tokyo\, Ogawa is part of a family of printe
 rs dating back to the Edo period. He learned the craft from his master\, w
 ho was once his grandfather’s disciple.\n\nDuring the printing demonstra
 tion\, the audience will have the opportunity to observe a copy of Hokusai
 ’s famous work The Great Wave Off Kanagawa being printed from beginning 
 to end\, accompanied by a detailed explanation of the process by the print
 er Nobuto. With the desire to stay as close as possible to the original fi
 rst edition from the Edo period\, and under the supervision of their advis
 or Mr. Shindo Shigeru\, the UKIYO-E PROJECT have based their reproduction 
 on the version of the Great Wave owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art i
 n New York\, and asked woodcarver Sekioka Senrei III to carve the set of w
 oodblocks that will be used by Nobuto. This printing demonstration is a ra
 re chance to see and hear a printer with years of traditional training wor
 k on a masterpiece that continues to fascinate the world.\n\nIn the worksh
 op\, participants will get to try their hand at woodblock printing using t
 he exact same process that was used back in the Edo period. Even if you pr
 eviously learned printmaking at school\, when you try it as an adult\, you
  will experience nostalgia and a make a new discovery. Wouldn’t you want
  to experience the excitement of multicolor printing where the colors over
 lap? In this workshop\, using a small woodblock\, you will have the opport
 unity to create a four-color print to take home and enjoy.\n\nWith offices
  in Los Angeles and in Tokyo\, UKIYO-E PROJECT is a contemporary ukiyo-e p
 ublisher founded by Yuka Mitsui in 2014 to keep the ukiyo-e craftsmanship 
 alive by creating a new market for the artists practicing this traditional
  skill. As the words ukiyo and e mean “present” and “image” respec
 tively\, ukiyo-e naturally depicted popular trends and the culture of thei
 r time. Staying true to this philosophy\, UKIYO-E PROJECT immortalizes ico
 nic stars and landscapes of today through traditional woodblock prints\, w
 hich continue to receive extensive press and have been acquired by interna
 tional institutions such as the British Museum\, the Museum of Applied Art
 s in Vienna (MAK)\, and the Miami University Libraries.\n\n\n\nRegistratio
