A Japanese Paper Primer Traditional Japanese printmaking was woodblock, but washi is also apt for use in wood engraving, linoblock, or letterpress techniques. Washi is the Japanese word for the traditional papers made from the long inner fibres of three autoctonous plants, "wa" meaning Japanese and "shi" meaning paper. Rembrandt often used Japanese paper for his fine etchings; Whistler, perhaps inspired by Rembrandt's prints from centuries before, was moved by the absorbency and warm coloration of washi and its ability to pick up every detail of his etched plates. www.worldprintmakers.com /english/jappaper.htm   (1437 words)

Introduction to the artist Platt was also instrumental in promoting colour woodcut printmaking at Leicester and invited Yoshijuro Urushibara, a Japanese artist who had learnt the craft of woodblock printmaking in Tokyo, to demonstrate the technique to his students. However, Platt's development towards an ever more simplified stylistic approach to his woodcuts indicates his understanding of the fundamental elements of design in Japanese woodblock printmaking and their relevance to contemporary art. John Platt displays this combination of qualities and is rightly judged to hold an eminent position in the area of British colour woodcut printmaking. www.woodblock.com /platt/introduction.html   (859 words)

Akasa Media--Articles on the Arts and Culture The romance of kimonoed bijin and Japanese landscapes were forgone; Instead, 1950s posters such as the Nikon ads by Kamekura, and the Daidoh Worsted Mills Wool ad by Kenji Itoh communicate about design, corporate and social sophistication, and thoroughly modern products. His classically-oriented photographic closeups relied on the finest printmaking skills, since the impact of his posters relied on exacting details such as the texture, tone and light reflection in a woman’s face. Kamekura’s bold lines and colors convey the bold determination of a growing nation and his generation of designers, and Itoh’s pioneering use of photography announced breakthroughs in Japanese design as well as worsted wool. www.akasamedia.com /arts-culture/posters-JAL.htm   (241 words)

Meiji Nationalism This article series outlines roughly 120 years of Japanese printmaking from the Edo period under the Tokugawa shogunate until the Westernization of Japan during the Meiji era. War prints, like those of historical warriors in Meiji, were an open affirmation of the greatness of the nation, but superior to warrior prints in depicting present and immediate heroes, the Japanese (of any class) who had excelled just days before on the battlefield. Albums of prints assembled by their owners and surviving from the Meiji Period show that the audience for these different genres of prints was not necessarily divided, but that the same gatherer might display a kabuki actor on one page, a print of the emperor on the next, and a war scene later on. www.artelino.com /articles/meiji_nationalism.asp   (877 words)

Provincetown Print In the early 1900's, Provincetown, Massachusetts, was a place of bustling energy and creativity where the influence of the Japanese woodblock prints, Cubism and Abstract Theory all contributed to the development of a new technique of color wood-block printing. The creative energy that permeated Provincetown, Massachusetts, along with the influence of the Japanese woodblock print and the theories of Cubism and Abstract Expressionism led to the development of the Provincetown Print, a truly unique American art form.
