First day of printing at Nagasawa studio..

Today's schedule went something like this..visit Shinto shrine which is next to the studio we are working in, leave offering for a safe and harmonious residency and then work until 5pm learning the basics of Japanese printmaking. On this particular diary entry, I am going to let the images speak for themselves. Here you can see the beautiful landscape surrounding the studio - Autumn has set in here and the mist was rising off the mountains. You can also see Keiko-san and Maiko-sensei teaching us how to print. There are also some pictures of me at the mountain god shrine.
