I took a class at his workshop in Tokyo and highly recommend the experience. So much thought and detail goes into preparing the wood blocks and even into "just" printing them.

#23Thank you for sharing my site! I built this a number of years ago as I was starting to learn about Japanese prints. I wanted a single place where I could find them across all of the various museums and universities that hold them. I use computer vision analysis to cluster prints together (using TinEye).

Thank you for creating such a wonderful site! Woodblock printing is one of my favorite art forms. My grandparents visited Japan long ago and gifted me two wooden boxes, one with this print on the lid: https://ukiyo-e.org/image/aic/99027_512658 and the other with https://ukiyo-e.org/image/honolulu/8277 .

Oh that's very cool! I have a mailing list signup on the ukiyo-e.org home page, I'll send out a message there once it's ready for testing! I've posted some screenshots on Reddit that show some of the price comparison features: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukiyoe/comments/1p6c4lb/comment/nqp... https://www.reddit.com/r/ukiyoe/comments/1pjw8br/comment/nti...

A fellow Shin Hanga-era fan! There are dozens of us!
Hasui is excellent, but Shiro Kasamatsu is my undisputed favorite. Something about the way he does buildings, and the dramatic colors, is exactly aimed at me.

#25Wow, that's wonderful. There is a store that sells original Woodblock prints in Vienna, close to the Opera. Every time I'm passing by I take a few moments to look and reflect on those prints, it's great recognizing some on this website now.
I know exactly which store you're talking about, and I couldn't resist going in the one time I was in Vienna. It's a great store.

Amazing resource - thank you for creating it!
We have "Red Gate in the Rain" by Kasamatsu Shiro [1] hanging in our home. I uploaded a photo of it and had a great time browsing other works by Shiro.
My wife also noted that we'll eventually inherit Shiro's "Snow Falling at Red Gate" [2], in the same series, from her aunt.
We've a couple other prints that I am going to search now... thanks again!
