This is episode #13 in the series of videos created by woodblock printmaker Dave Bull documenting the production of his new reproduction of Hokusai's Great Wave design. The main thrust of this episode is the step by step proofing of the blocks, with Dave working together with printer Shinkichi Numabe, so after all the months of preparation, we do finally get to see a sample of the finished print this time.

![Embrace the Delight (with narration)
A real time printing video from the Mokuhankan workshop in Asakusa, Tokyo. We see both workshop owner Dave Bull, and staff printer Natsuki Suga, while they each create an edition of the first two prints in the 2022 subscription series - Embrace the Delight.
[The video is being uploaded in two versions: this one with Daves narration explaining many aspects of what you are seeing during the work, and another (visually identical) version that has just the natural background workshop sounds.]
