Episode 5: Ukiyo-e Heroes (Part II)


Listen Later

Some stories are just too big to tell in one episode. This is one of them. In this two-part special, we dive into the resurgence of the Japanese visual art form known as ukiyo-e. A style dating back to the 17th century, Ukiyo-e peaked in the 1800’s and essentially slept through the 20th century. But recently, a visual artist named Jed Henry, and a traditional woodcarver and printer named David Bull, combined forces to inject new life into the classic form. The first episode focused on Jed, while this second part features David.
