![The Great Wave - Part 17
Seven years after beginning his Great Wave project, Tokyo-based woodblock printmaker Dave Bull brings the latest update ... episode 17.
This one deals with an issue upper-most in the mind of many of the fans and collectors - what is the condition of the set of woodblocks? After seven years in production, can more good prints really be made from them?
