Today, we'll be discussing mokuhanga, a traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking technique.

The story of mokuhanga dates back to ancient Japan, where it originated as a printing technique used to reproduce Buddhist  texts and images.
This technique is known for its unique aesthetics and is now adopted by artists to convey contemporary atmospheres.

Listen to this episode to discover more about this technique and to know how I use it in my creative process.
