A man, a snake and Hokusai Ginko Hanga 2024-08-08 | In this video I walk you through the production for the 10th image in the Mokuhankan x The British Museum collaboration project, ‘Hokusai Reborn’. This was a dream to be a part of. It's a very rare project to create woodblock prints from original Hokusai sketches that never made it to publication. Over 180 years after they were inked, I am part of the carving team set with the task to bring 12 of the 103 sketches from Hokusai to collectors all over the world. It's a very delicate and intricate print and it stretched my skills but I've learnt so much. This is just so cool!For a more in depth introduction to the project check out both The British Museums video introducing the collection and Dave Bull's video introducing the series.The British Museum - youtube.com/watch?v=lCwv0nTNKWEDave Bull - youtube.com/watch?v=RjiR3sKEQtETo see the rest of the images in this series and to subscribe you can click the link bellow -mokuhankan.com/subscriptions/reborn.htmlTo take a look at the entire set of 103 images drawings by Hokusai for this unpublished book 'The Great Picture Book of Everything' check out the link bellow to the British Museums collection -britishmuseum.org/collection/term/AUTH234888?id=AUTH234888&page=1#page-topFor the brief recap of the story that's represented in the the print -fuckyeahchinesemyths.tumblr.com/post/72873795989/liu-bang-kills-a-snake-and-gets-homies-to-start-aThank you all for your continued support, this was a so much fun.My other links:Website: ginkohanga.com Instergram : instagram.com/ginko_hanga/?hl=en

In this videos we will look at the up close carving of the key block for this print. I talk about techniques I employ, as taught to me in the traditional system, some talks about the print and it’s history as well as some rambling thoughts I have had during the production of this block.Subsequent videos in the series will be about colour blocks and printing. Please be patient while I work on finishing this project, I’ll get the next video out as soon as I can.Once the project is completed this print will be available to buy on the Mokuhankan we site.
