Kitsune Prints is a small home studio that realizes Mokuhanga prints, a traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique. I usually create prints designed by me but i’m also available for collaborations to produce prints by other artists.
ABOUT MOKUHANGA
This printing technique has been adopted already the Edo period and is well known for the Ukiyo-e art movement.
In mokuhanga every print color area or line is engraved on a wooden board (traditionally made of Japanese mountain cherry – Yamazakura). These are then inked with water-based pigments using some special purpose brushes. The color is finally transferred to Washi paper pressing it against the block with the Baren, a manual tool made of bamboo. The sequence of impressions of colors allows printmakers to obtain wonderful prints.
