Flower Basket, by Hakamada Sekka

Not really many 'technical notes' to write about this simple print ... I did cut one block that ended up not being used - a 'beta-ban' (blank block) covering the entire print area. I thought it might look better with some kind of background tone, but in the end, decided to leave it this way - with just the pure paper texture instead ...

Blocks: 7 cherrywood
Printing impressions: 7
