Tokyo-based woodblock printmaker David Bull narrates a video showing the step-by-step process of making one of the woodblock prints in the 2019 subscription series 'A Japan Journey', designed by Jed Henry.

This image is the August print - Summer Tea Fields - and is being made by our young printer Natsuki Suga.
