彫ーCarving
Focusing all of his attention on the point of his knife, the carver creates smooth, elegant lines.
Mr. Hanai depicts casual everyday scenes of everyday people. The carver faithfully carves the facial expressions of the people while deciphering the intentions of the artist Hanai. The carver's intense focus and precision is required for the work of carving delicate lines with a single knife.
摺ーPrinting
Light and brilliant colors are born from materials and techniques that are unique to Japan.
The light and brilliant colors of traditional woodcut prints are produced by using a Baren rubbing pad to rub water-based paints into the fibers of the paper, which is carefully handcrafted from paper mulberry. The printer feels the world view of Mr. Hanai's work as he mixes and prints the colors on top of one another.
