We’re pleased to share that our Ukiyo-e printing workshop at Sophia University was a great success!
We were joined by many students, and the venue remained lively and full of energy throughout the event. As participants tried the printing process themselves, we heard many comments like “It’s more delicate than I expected!” and “I didn’t realize there were so many steps involved!” It was especially memorable to see how engaged and immersed everyone was.
This time, we also introduced a new set of woodblocks featuring The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
It allowed participants to enjoy a more authentic Ukiyo-e experience, and it was very well received.
Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces as they held their finished prints, and the focus they showed while working, reminded us once again how meaningful it is to share this craft through hands-on experiences.
We hope this event helped bring Ukiyo-e closer to everyone.
We will continue to share the charm of traditional Japanese culture through activities like this.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and supported this event!
