David Bull

[Bonsai Basho]

Don't know if you guys know about the woodblock printer David Bull.

He is an Englishman who left to live in Canada and a youngster and the moved to Japan about 30 years ago to study woodblock printing. Today he is one of Japan's top woodblock print makers. I collect his prints - they are very, very good and he makes collections which are great value.


These are his subscription monthly set

Hope you find his work as enjoyable as I do.

I've heard of this guy. I wish he'd sell prints individually, but I understand the reasons behind the subscriptions.

Anyway, his source material for the bonsai print is impeccable--scroll down on this link:
