Washing Rice for Dinner Relief Print

Inspired by the ordinary everyday. This original limited edition print takes inspiration from the simple rituals of the day - washing rice in preparation for dinner. Carefully washing and rinsing the rice, ready for cooking in the rice cooker. A small domestic everyday task.

Limited Edition Art

Based on a simple observational sketch at home, the design is then transferred to the block and carefully hand carved. It is then printed by hand onto beautiful Awagami Kitakata paper. This washi paper is a very thin, but strong, paper that is a delicate pale cream in colour with a slight sheen to it and compliments the original design. 

This original artwork is great for those that also appreciate the everyday simplicity of washing rice, and would fit into any kitchen wall with ease. 

Each print is pressed by hand, so there will be natural variations in colour and texture and there may be slight indentations in the margins where the paper was pressed over the edge of the block. This is all part of what makes each print truly handmade and unique.
