IMC 2024 Echizen submission

Everaert's submission to the 2024 International Mokuhanga Conference (IMC), held in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture — the historical center of kozo-fiber washi production. The triennial conference draws practitioners from around the world for exhibitions, paper-mill visits, and print exchanges, and submission prints are typically pulled in small editions for distribution among participants and host institutions. Choosing Echizen as the 2024 host site placed paper itself at the conceptual center of the gathering, and submissions often respond to that material context. Within Everaert's practice — rooted in Ghent, developed under Vladimir Ivaneanu, and extended through the Mokuhanga Magic collaboration — IMC submissions function as both peer-presentation pieces and statements of European engagement with the Japanese tradition. The print would have been pulled on washi using water-based pigments and a baren, demonstrating fluency with the technical vocabulary that the conference exists to preserve and disseminate.
