Ukiyo - Japanese print technique

This is the workshop to make Japanese woodblock prints(Ukiyo-e) in the new way which is the collaboration of traditions and technology. The participants can learn the attractiveness of Ukiyo-e, how to make data with Inkscape(2D design software) , engrave with the lasercutter, and  how to print it. 

Keywords:

Materials and logistics:

-Bring the computer it can install the Inkscape
-Installing Inkscape to their computers beforehand(if possible. I can explain it during the workshop but it’s better to save time.)
