  • In this video, Tokyo-based woodblock printmaker Dave Bull announces his workshop's new series for 2023.
    (A note on the audio issue that is bothering many people: I did carefully produce the audio track, recording it separately, then editing it to remove unwanted noise, etc, and properly getting it compressed and normalized. But at the time of exporting the project, I neglected to mute the original camera audio, and this is what caused the echoed/reverby effect. CZcams doesn't let us edit the audio for uploaded videos, so there isn't anything I can do at this point ... Thank you for your patience with me!)

    David - years ago you told a story, on one of your Twitch streams, of knowing a Japanese paper maker. Would you ever consider telling that story again for your CZcams channel? It was an awesome story and I loved hearing you tell it. I’d love to hear it again.

    • @SaiChooMusic
      @SaiChooMusic Před rokem +16

      He should do the story about the block maker/planer as well

    • @diloranmingus
      @diloranmingus Před rokem +12

      I don’t remember that one off the top of my head, but I agree! I want to hear any of the stories that he’s willing to tell and archive here.
      I think more access to stories like those is a wonderful thing. Especially in today’s world where so much story telling is a fast, flash in the pan type type of content on reels and shorts. Not to say I think those are all bad per se, but I love that David’s videos are longer videos. It feels like bringing the old and new together. Yes, it’s a CZcams video archived on the internet. But it feels like sitting down with a person who has lived far longer than me in a life far different than mine. Just a chance to slow down, learn, and experience.

      i think we're all in agreement that David could tell any story and we would be waiting for the notification. "David Bull describes the time he clogged a toilet at a dinner party: 1.2m views."

    I just realized that this channel technically falls under the Lost Media genre (which I like) and Dave and his Mokuhankan team are taking their steps further by recovering, preserving, and reviving precious lost art so they can be appreciated by today's and tomorrow's generation. That being said, I'm absolutely looking forward to this project!

    • @mokuhanga1
      @mokuhanga1 Před rokem +3

      I'm not sure it was ever "lost" 😄😂 The old publishers are today publishing contemporary woodblock prints of very high quality e.g. Adachi or Watanabe. Hundreds, if not thousands, of artists are today self carving and printing, many at higher quality than 100 years ago e.g. Tachihara Inuki (ukiyo-e) or Miyamoto Shufu (shin-hanga) or Paul Binnie (contemporary).

    I recently visited your shop with some friends, I was the one who bought the "cheap thrill" and the hiroshige! You tested me on the eight veiws depictions. I just wanted to leave this comment to say thank you for your kindness while I vistited! I hope to visit you again soon before I leave Japan. My friends will tell you I was truly starstruck after meeting you! Can't wait for the next video :)

  • @kslinaz5668

    @thomasvanmourik2720 Před rokem +18

    I went to visit this exhibition earlier this year after getting into Japanese prints precisely because of this channel. Now mokuhankan are producing these very same prints. Full circle! Thank you so much Dave!

    As a student of Japanese art and a professional carver, I appreciate your knowledge and explantion of various aspects of woodblock prints. I obtained an excellent volume comprised of drawings by Hiroshige of everyday life some of which were projected to be part of a print. I share your love of this wonderful discipline. Your passion and love for the art will shine forth in any project you undertake. Best wishes from Virginia, Cork Camden

    @Voltaire8559 Před rokem +4

    We are watching a legend carving his way into art history. He will be up there, among great ugiyoe craver and printer, as a modern revisionist who brought so much joy to the world. Gentlemen, ladies, subscribe to him as if u are given a chance to subscribe to Hokusai.

  • @veronicafernandez564
    @veronicafernandez564 Před 4 měsíci

    There's nothing better than seeing someone, who is truly wholeheartly passionate about something, sharing info about it.
    I watch some of your videos fro time to time and it fills me with joy.
    In a world so full of "everything" and that moves so fast with technology, news, apps, etc... and where people tend to be a little lost about what they like becouse they have too many options out there, it certainly is nice to see someone so passionate, well versed and meticulous about what they love, specialy something so artistic.
    Thank you so much for sharing, for taking the time to set up the camera and record and for letting us know and learn about a technic that may be difficult to know about living in countries other than Japan.
    (Excuse my English, I'm a Spanish speaker)
    Blessings and lots of love from Argentina!

    Firstly, it's wonderful to see you happy and well Dave. I think this project is so interesting, you've always represented a bridge from the past to the future. You're a programmer, but found woodblock carving. You're using modern technology in your process, but documenting techniques that haven't changed for hundreds of years. It's really fascinating! I wish you and the whole team nothing but the absolute best as always ❤❤❤

    I WANT one of Mokuhankan's prints. The next and first time I'll be visiting Japan I'll buy some and hopefully see you!
    In the meanwhile (beeing a student with no money for luxorious prints) I'll try to make my own prints instead.
    I have carved my first ever woodblock print on some plywood! The block is all bendy and not suitable, but it actually worked and i have a print of the keyblock!! Next is color 😁
    Thank you and your community for beeing awesome and sharing your process and visions! 🥰

    It was wonderful coming to the shop and picking up my little bonsai print!... you really are in the thick of it there in Asakusa... terrific. I was really inspired to see Hokusai's paintings when I visited Obuse too together with his amazing Pheonix in Ganshohin temple. It was a wonderful story to hear how he walked to Obuse from Tokyo. Looking forward to walking along with you as this series rolls out.

    @mahnli Před rokem +1

    Dave, regarding the audio....I think it's just the echo of the room. Perhaps putting the mike higher up on your shirt will help. In your Twitch stream, you are looking down a lot and the mike picks up your voice perfectly. I think in this case, it just needs to be higher. Otherwise, there's nothing terrible....we just love your voice so much that it's the only thing we want to hear!

    @yourstruly6548 Před rokem

    I am glad you have this opportunity and that so many people will be able to see the beautiful work you produce, but the British museum should be paying you! Not the other way around! Royalties on public domain art??? To a museum with EXCELLENT funding? Why is a small business of crafts people paying the british museum for ANYTHING?
    I just had to get that off my chest. I'm sure you thought about this decision long and hard and have your reasons... I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful work you produce!

    This is great work. Just a polite reminder that Hokusai was a carver for many years. It's well documented in academic literature from eg. MFA and MIA. This seems to me fundamental to his and this story especially given Hokusai was also known to veto carvers not up to his standards.
