BARBARA WYBOU, Canada For 20 years I lived in Japan, where I studied Japanese Woodblock Printing at the studio of the traditional woodblock artist Toshi Yoshida. I discovered the Japanese technique of woodblock printing when I moved there in 1984. I was thrilled, as it allows me to do what I love most – to make prints at home, working small, in great detail, with the fine texture of wood grain and the building up of layer upon layer of translucent watercolour pigment.
