Description

Join us for a demonstration and talk by artist Nobuko Yamasaki. Nobuko learned woodblock printing as a student at Seika University in Kyoto, Japan. After graduation, she studied with Richard Steiner, a noted woodblock print artist and teacher, in his Kyoto studio. Mokuhanga is a traditional Japanese technique for woodblock printing. It is best known for the ukiyo-e style prints popular in Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868).

This event is part of Japan Week in partnership with the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.
