Blue Robe – first aizuri-e attempt

January 23, 2002 By Mike Lyon

This image of Dana turning in my yukata was my first attempt at aizuri-e (blue printed picture).  I used only shades of blue in this Japanese technique woodblock print (moku-hanga).  Later efforts included sumi or other blacks in order to increase the depth of darkest printings.
