Matt et al.:

I can't rember the English language sources I read on the Chinees
printmaking but the shop photographs showed literaly dozenss of wood
bits per impression... each stem, leaf, flower petal or group of flower
petals was a single block.

Dave: Your encyclopedia entry is great... Man! where do you find the
time?!

Welcome to [Baren] ...  
I hope you'll feel inclined to do more than just listen in!

I just called him up to see what this is all about, and
yes this sounds very interesting.  He is looking for people to send stuff
in for exhibiting.  I guess maybe he thought I wouldn't be interested,
because he knows I don't design my own prints, but after our conversation
just now, he is going to send me some info on this.

As soon as I receive it, I'll post something here so everybody can know
what is going on.

I've just linked your page into the [Baren] Members' Web Pages list, on
the [Baren] Home Page.  Are there any other 'quiet' members out there
who would like me to list your pages?

Baren:
	On Richard Steiner and the Kyoto Woodprint Association. I know of this
only from a newsletter and a show application he sent; it sounds great:

	"KIWA has no grand vision for the future other than providing a vehicle
for woodblock prints to be displayed and appreciated, and collecting as many as
possible for posterity. We are in love with our medium, the oldest of the print
techniques. It is the most flexible creatively, the simplest in terms of tools
and materials, the one most available to young and old, amateur and
professional alike, the warmest, most approachable and most satisfying." ! 

(And I was thinking it was kind of a difficult business. . . )

The show is to be held June 23 - 28, and the deadline for sending in prints
(un-matted, un-framed) is April 23. Seems they won't take a commission on sales
and they'll display everything they recieve, so long as they are woodprints,
made in the last 2 years. Unsold work is kept by the Association for their
collection. Richard's e-mail address is:
 steiner@mbox.kyoto-inet.or.jp
