IMC 2024 Echizen submission

This print was produced for the 2024 International Mokuhanga Conference (IMC), the triennial gathering organized by the International Mokuhanga Association that brings together practitioners, scholars, and students of Japanese woodblock printmaking from across the world. The Echizen designation indicates the work was printed on [washi](/glossary/washi) from the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture, a papermaking center active since the eighth century and prized in mokuhanga for its long [kozo](/glossary/kozo) fibers, dimensional stability under repeated [baren](/glossary/baren) pressure, and capacity to absorb successive water-based pigment layers without buckling. Conference submission prints of this type are typically produced in a small, standardized format suited to portfolio exchange and group exhibition. As a contribution from a member of the Mokuhanga Sisters collective and the head of the mokuhanga program at St. Lawrence University, the work sits within Schulenberg's broader engagement with international mokuhanga networks and her role in carrying the medium between Japanese tradition and American academic printmaking.
