I went back and took another look. Some of those textures seem to be wood grain. Others look like specific moku hanga printing techniques, such as adding a lot of water to get a grainy pattern. There might even be some coloagraph work -- adding something with texture to the plate, like sandpaper for example, and inking that.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-61999651132536267112008-11-24T18:06:00.000-05:002008-11-24T18:06:00.000-05:00thank you for posting the work of Hidehiko Gotou....thank you for posting the work of Hidehiko Gotou. very interesting and beautiful.
