Congratulations one and all on a beautiful set of hanga prints.  I wanted
to write to everyone, but thought this my best option.  It would be nice
to be able to exhibit them all together and if I have the opportunity I
will do that here at our Western Australian Association.

With all the "fuss" that went on I was very apprehensive at first to open
my package, but all the reports coming through Baren were all positive
and so I sneaked a preview on the Baren site and really enjoyed getting
them and putting them all out on the dining room table and seeing them
together.  

Well done, first timers.  I congratulate you on your effort and
attempting the full edition.  Even I had only done one edition with that
many before.  

I have my favourites, but I think you all did a "stirling Job"

Yes, Frank I recognised the little red bird house!  Charles and Jean 
would too.

Thank you Kat for all the work you did and the comprehensive colophon you
enclosed for us all.  Thank you.

Well done.  I don't feel so isolated when I receive my exchange surprises.

Jan

OK gang, the moment you've been waiting for all year is at hand ... 
Matsumura-san's annual new year card display is ready ...

Best way to view them is with two browser windows. Follow that link, 
then select the 2003 series. There are too many images for one index 
page, so they are broken down into seven groups. Once you have reached 
the first group display, clicking on one of the small images will open a 
new browser window on your screen. _Keep that window open_ ... you can 
thus continue to click small images in the first window, and they will 
all pop up into that other window for easy viewing ...

It seems Matsumura-san didn't get quite as many woodblock cards this 
year as usual. There are 'only' a couple of hundred of them on display 
here!

Dave
P.S. Thanks to Sadako-san for doing all the scanning for Matsumura-san 
this time!

The assortment of cards is wonderful - such great colour and designs -
would they all be the
moku-hanga technique? Thanks for sending it all, Dave.

Thanks for putting these up Dave and Sadako...some great prints in 
there....I like that cowboy guy holding up the sheep....so many good 
designs!!!!

I guess since we are in a way customers of Matsumura-san...will it be ok 
for us to send him some sheep prints too ???

Of course he would love to see them ... but please note that this is not 
an 'exchange' system. He gets all these cards from his customers and 
other people interested, but can't possibly sit there and make that many 
himself for sending back ...

He's at:
Woodlike Matsumura
Kami-Shakujii 1-11-9,
Nerima-Ku, Tokyo
Japan 177-0044

Mostly. I see a few end-grain engravings in there, and there seems to be 
a touch of hand-painted colour in one of two of them, but for the most 
part, this is a 'moku hanga' show ...
