Woodblock printing is an ancient art form; which produces beautiful; subtle and lively pieces with just a few simple materials. This book introduces the art; and shares technical information and ideas for those with more experience. A wide range of exciting examples of printed woodcuts are shown along with advice on materials and tools; and a step-by-step guide to sharpening. Techniques to achieve quality prints and perfect registration are covered too. Drawing on the vibrant living traditions from China and Japan; it is both a technical guide and an inspiration. Beautifully illustrated with 160 colour photographs.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Newman / HeideggerBy AndrewExcellent book. About to start rereading it this week. Also recently ordered Richard Shiffs Barnett Newman: Catalogue Raisonne for $100 on AbeBooks used. If you know what this book is; you should probably buy it. Not an easy read at all.
