Woodblock Print Book Jacket – Sentakubiyori / Japanese Bunko (A6) Size / no.2011

A hand-printed woodblock book jacket, made one by one

Woodblock print “Sentakubiyori (Perfect Day for Laundry)” / Yuko Harada

A clear, sunny day is the perfect day for doing laundry — and the clothespins are hard at work too.

Each piece is made entirely by hand through the traditional woodblock printing process: drawing the design, carving the woodblock, and printing it by hand with a baren. The subtle variations in color and texture give each cover the distinctive warmth of a handmade print.

The book jacket is made from smooth-surfaced washi paper selected for its vivid color reproduction and durability, making it well suited to woodblock printing.

As the pigments are carefully worked into the washi during printing, the color is resistant to rubbing. The paper also has a comfortable thickness and feels pleasant in the hand.
