32” H x 24.5” W

Identified only by its dimensions — 32 by 24.5 inches — this print falls at a substantial scale for mokuhanga, larger than the traditional [oban](/glossary/oban) format (roughly 15 by 10 inches) that defined Edo-period commercial printmaking. Working at this size compounds the technical challenges of water-based woodblock printing: the [washi](/glossary/washi) must be evenly dampened across a much larger surface, the carved blocks must avoid warp under repeated wetting, and [baren](/glossary/baren) pressure must remain consistent edge to edge during printing. Sourcing washi at this scale typically means commissioning sheets from a specialist papermaker rather than buying from stock. Fisher's willingness to work at architectural rather than intimate scale aligns with a broader contemporary mokuhanga tendency to push the technique beyond its historical conventions, treating the wood-and-water medium as adaptable to the gestural and physical demands of post-1950s printmaking. The reduction of the title to its measurements emphasizes the print as a physical object.
