Getting into the famous
stuff now! This was far and away the largest print
I tried this far. I made it at the same size as
the original - the common ukiyo-e oban size.
Although it may look not so bad when seen in this
small computer image, I have to admit that the
carving is pretty amateurish. There are chips and
gouges everywhere on the lines, and none of them
'flow' smoothly like the original brush strokes.

version in a 'popup' window)
The image is another by Moronobu, and is the
first page of one of his 'shunga' albums. It is
carved on a very nice piece of cherry that I
brought back from Japan.
I think I was pretty proud of this one ... "Look
at me, I'm a printmaker!" (Just don't look
too closely ...)
