Continued from [River in Spring - 3] | Starting point of the thread is [River in Spring - 1]

It's been two weeks since we saw the image of the first block done, and today we'll get to see how it looks on paper. There aren't all that many blocks for this print - I have eight done now, and that might be all we need. It shouldn't have taken two weeks to get them done, but as usual, there were interruptions. I had a pleasant day of hiking near Kamakura with one of the collectors who lives overseas, but who was in Japan on business, and then NHK stole another couple of days from me earlier this week. (The result of that one won't be appearing on this website ... I don't think too many of the readers here would be interested in meeting Gabby, who came out here for a short visit ...)

Anyway, printing began this morning - with that same block, which did eventually end up becoming a legitimate 'key block'.

And there is obviously no more mystery about the design. It's clearly visible ... I hope!

The thread continues in [River in Spring - 5] ...
