Subject: Senshafuda Project - more paper sizing
Posted by: Dave Bull

As mentioned in the previous post, it's going to be my job to size the paper for this first set of senshafuda, and today was the day!

This photo is a bit of deja vu, as the sizing procedure here is getting kind of routine!

Tetsui-san preferred the 'both sides sized' samples from the batch we did together last week, so my work was doubled ... And once the stack of 100+ sheets was done, upstairs into the drying room they went:

Today was a clear and sunny day, so I kept the windows up there closed except for the smallest of cracks, and they dried very smoothly, in just a couple of hours.

As for the carving progress, Sato-san called yesterday with a couple of small questions about details of the design. Seems he's moving along as scheduled, and we should be ready for the first proofing session soon ...

Subject: First arrival all the way from Japan!
Posted by: Maria

Always an exciting day when my blocks begin returning home. I sure wasn't expecting any to arrive so soon, even before some have not yet found their destinations!
But here it is, the amazing George Jarvis from Japan and his always delightful contribution.

A close up of this intimate and insightful piece of what promises to be a glorious City.

The photos in the Japanese newspaper just break your heart. If anyone has ever had anything destroyed or even damaged by the devastating forces of nature, the feeling is that of complete helplessness.

I normally think that talking about art is superfluous to the image and interferes with the one-on-one communication between artist and audience. But I personally found it most intriguing how the image George Jarvis chose to share with us was one of everyday routine, calm and intimate. A glimpse at life inside the confines and safety of the home, despite the chaos outside.
Perhaps the image hints at the strength of will of the Japanese people, intent on forcing normalcy amidst turbulent times.

Welcome to the City of the World!
