The “Great Wave Off Kanagawa” By Hokusai: An Introduction To The Iconic Japanese Woodblock Print In 17 Minutes. From the ‘Great Art Explained’ series.  “In 1639 Japan closed its borders and cut itself off from the outside world. Foreigners were expelled, Western culture was forbidden, and Entering or leaving Japan was punishable by Death. It would remain that way for over 200 years. It was under these circumstances that a quintessentially Japanese art developed. Art for the people that was consumed on an unprecedented scale.”

Luxurious homes featuring woodblock printed panoramic wallpapers from the premier French manufacturer Zuber & Cie.

According to France Today, the company still uses the same antique woodblocks, the same paint formulas, and the same time-honored processes to create its stunning wallpapers as it did in Jean Zuber’s time. Gorgeous displays of friezes, borders, ceiling roses and architectural trompe l’oeil, have been photographed for Zuber in homes in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

Lavender and Evil Things  

by Sarah Nichols

By skimming through this tiny information packed pamphlet you will learn that lavender constrains many evil things, and evil spirits are driven out by it.

Brain Washing from Phone Towers Spring 2016 Informational Pamphlet is Lavender and Evil Things which takes a look at physic gardens – the forerunners of western botanical gardens – which provided medieval doctors and medical students their remedies.

Printed in an edition of 200 from woodblocks and handset metal type.

Information gathered in the physic garden was gathered in illustrated reference books called herbals. Herbals helped inform the development of botany as a science.

The use of plants for medical purposes continues to be popular today, especially with the large numbers of people dissatisfied with both the limitations of western medicine and with the financial incentives driving large pharmaceutical companies.
