About Relief Printing: This print was created by carving the image into a block of linoleum, which is a flat material made of flax, pine rosin, wood flour, cork dust and calcium carbonate that is held together with a jute backing. Linocut is also known as lino printing and linoleum art, and is a printmaking technique that is a variation on woodcut, where the piece of linoleum is used to carve into rather than wood. The image is carved into the surface using a gouge (similar to a chisel), with the un-carved areas creating a reversal of the image to be printed. The linoleum is inked with a brayer, and printed onto the paper, either by hand or using a press.
About Kozuke Paper: Kozuke Paper is 30% kozo and 70% sulphite fibres. Kozo is fibre from the inner bark of a mulberry tree, and sulphite fibres are composed of cellulose from wood.
