The waves in *The Whirlpools of Awa* coil like ink on wet paper, their edges bleeding into the void above. Hiroshige’s calligraphy anchors the chaos, suggesting nature’s fleeting order.

Does the shoreline’s faint outline pull the eye outward—or deeper into the vortex?

I've been teaching myself Japanese woodblock printing - "mokuhanga" - for a bit now, so it might be interesting to post something of my attempts.

My current print is the 'Fuchū' vignette taken from panel 6 of #Hiroshige's 'harimaz-e' series, Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the #Tokaido (with slightly modified border proportions to fit the block size).

Nice and simple 🤨

First step: make a digital copy, separating each colour onto its own layer.
