Wordless picture book

This project featured an exploration of the Japanese woodblock printing technique (Moku Hanga). The image of this night bird reveals successive layers of semi-opaque ink. Using a Leporello (concertina) format, the book pays homage to a rare work in this format, printed 160 years ago by the publisher Unsodo and also featuring an animal theme. "Dans les bois" appeared in five original exemplars. The copies presented here belong to the third edition, printed in a reduced format in an edition of 100 copies by Studio Trames.
