One of the hallmarks of mokuhanga is building a strong
foundation grounded in tradition. By studying deeply and making
work informed by those who came before us, today’s mokuhanga
printmakers help carry this beautiful tradition forward.
On this episode of The Unfinished Print, a mokuhanga podcast, I speak with
Roslyn Kean, a mokuhanga printmaker who is continuing the tradition
of mokuhanga while developing her own unique perspective. Roslyn’s
work is a wonderful example of how mokuhanga can be both rooted in
tradition and open to exploration.
Roslyn and I talk about her studies with Tōshi Yoshida and her
time in Japan. We discuss her perspective on mokuhanga as a medium,
her baren making, and how Australia has become an important place
for printmakers, including the positive impact of diversity
on Australian printmaking. Roslyn also shares insights into
her process, from dampening paper and papermaking to the skill and
care involved in handmade work, as well as how to source tools and
equipment for making mokuhanga.
