Henrik Hey, visual artist of mokuhanga woodblock prints

Welcome to the website with a selection of my mokuhanga artwork.

Mokuhanga is the Japanese word for printing, using the water-based woodblock technique developed during the Edo period.

My enduring love of mokuhanga began in 2000, when I got the unique chance to take part in the Nagasawa Art-Park artist-in-residence programme, founded by Keiko Kadota. The studio was situated high in the hills of Awaji-island south of Kobe, Japan.

The start of the annual French cycle event in 2018 is in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île. Since the 2015 Grand Départ in my hometown Utrecht I've been celebrating this event by making annual prints with the Yellow, Green, White and Polka Dot Jersey.
