Ukiyo-e woodblock print motion video

Every shot is one complete Edo woodblock print: flat pigment blocks slightly out of register, carved variable-width lines, per-pixel bokashi skies, woodgrain and rubbing on washi, and your words stamped on as cartouches and seals, rendered as an MP4, a poster and a contact sheet.
