The next in our 'David's Choice' series, where Tokyo-based woodblock printmaker David Bull introduces some of his favourite prints. This episode is a supplement to the previous video, the one discussing the theme of Hakkei - or ‘8 Views’. In this video, the focus is on the famous set of woodblock prints designed by Suzuki Harunobu in the 1760s - 'Zashiki Hakkei' (Eight Views in the Home).

The YouTube system doesn't let us include here the text of the pamphlet featured in the video, as it is too long. So we have uploaded it to a file here:
