Typical Price
"Papermaker" (kamisuki) captures a craftsman producing handmade washi paper, the very material upon which prints like this one are printed. This self-referential subject has particular charm for print collectors. Wada's Occupations series lifetime editions sell for $500-$1,100, with posthumous Watanabe reprints at $200-$500. A solid choice for new collectors.
Description
A craftsman making traditional washi paper by hand using a bamboo screen and mulberry fiber pulp.
