Description
A second untitled mokuhanga catalogued under Iantcheva's Mokumap entry, this sheet documents her continued engagement with the Japanese water-based woodblock process from her studio in Kuurne. Without an assigned title, the work is read primarily through its material vocabulary: a key block carrying drawn line, colour blocks registered by kento marks, and pigment bound with nori paste and brushed onto the block before being transferred to washi under the pressure of the baren. Contemporary mokuhanga of this kind frequently sits between abstraction and observed motif, with practitioners exploiting the medium's capacity for translucent layering, soft-edged bokashi, and the subtle embossing that emerges where dampened paper meets carved wood. As a member of the Mokuhanga Magic network, Iantcheva contributes to a European research community that treats the technique as a living contemporary medium rather than a historical reproduction practice. This print, paired with her other Mokumap entry, indicates a body of work developed within that collaborative Bulgarian-Belgian context rather than within the publisher-driven workshop model of historical Japanese printmaking.
