2) Sites explaining how to make wood block prints.

Woodblock.com An excellent site.
Technique of the Color Wood-cut pages that also explain very clearly how these beautiful prints are made.
Barenforum takes its name from the utensil used to press the paper to be printed onto the block. It is a forum (in English) dedicated entirely to woodblock prints.
3) Various sites on artists that I love.
Paul Binnie a contemporary artist (in his forties) who lives in Wimbledon. His works are absolutely beautiful: a visit is definitely worthwhile.
Sarah Brayer an american artist who lives in Japan, former student of the master Toshi Yoshida. Her work is astonishing ! The most beautiful of her prints ? Peak in 2000. (or maybe Winter monks)
Hanga.com Admittedly a retailer, but they propose a very large number of reproductions of various artists.
Eva Pietzcker taught me how to carve wood and to print the japanese way. I love her Mount Fuji (printed in 2012)
Hiroaki-Shotei A site that is attempting to make the “catalogue raisonné” of his works. A very interesting site, it also proposes articles on the world of woodblock prints.
Tsuchiya Koitsu Woodblock Print Collection A site made by an enthusiast who is also trying to make a “catalogue raisonné” of a Japanese artist.
Henri Rivière This page is dedicated to the Parisian representations of the watercolorist and engraver Henri Rivière.
