Stop-motion woodblock print videos by Tromarama

"QUOTE" From July 24th through November 7th, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo will feature the work of Indonesian art trio Tromarama. Tromarama uses animation, stop-motion, woodblock prints, and other crafty things to create these fun music videos. I highly recommend you check it out if you're passing through Tokyo — the museum also has one of the best views of the city. LINK, Via: Youtube

Stunning Japanese Woodblock Prints

During his life, Utagawa Hiroshige [1797-1858] dominated Japanese landscape printmaking, producing pictures of his travels around the country, and of vistas of the capital in his series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, which included this print, Susaki and the Jumantsubo Plain near Fukagawa.

Hiroshige was highly creative with his use of composition as can be seen here, with the powerful body of the eagle preparing to dive for its prey framing the top of the image, juxtaposed against the wintry landscape around Edo Bay, seen from a ‘bird’s-eye-view’ perspective. LINK
