It's here indeed!

I received my print today (I was #12 on the list) and it's amazing! I can't tell how much I love it. It's such a great work it was well worth the wait. My friends are already asking me where to order a copy of it! (It could become the flagship of the Mokuhankan shop!).

Thank you again!

I can barely contain my excitement...the anticipation is driving me crazy!

(Is there any way of finding out where I am in the mailing order???)

Hi Dave,

I got a couple of lovely prints today. Well worth the wait.

Thanks,

Marc

Mine arrived today. I have to say, from the outside of the package with the choice of stamps to the inner folder, brochures and packaging for the print itself, it is an amazing class act all the way through. Wonderfully, thoughtfully shipped so that the print comes to me in pristine condition. And is it a stunner. Well worth the wait. Thank you so much!

Great Wave #30 arrived in perfect order at my home address today. Thanks Dave!

Another arrival confirmed in perfect condition. The packaging is very thorough, which is greatly appreciated.

The print itself is a thing of beauty, pictures really do not do it justice. This is the largest print of my growing collection and it's quite impressive.

Thanks for all the hard work and I'm already looking forward to following your next project! I remember a passing mention of doing a print for a camera crew and have been intrigued since.

Actually, considering the absolutely stunning quality of carving and printing of your copy of Hokusai's Great Wave, including all the wonderful videos discussing the history of its conception, I expect it will be the most sought after reproduction of Hokusai's design for this print for many years to come.

Great news, Dave. I'm eagerly awaiting my chance to order the Great Wave, and of course the next video. I hope you address the documentary that you mentioned in passing in a youtube comment some time ago too, I'd love to hear more about it.

I think it's great that they are finally shipping and sure you have been really busy with that, but now that they are out are you still going to be finishing the youtube series?

There will certainly be more videos … It's just that each and every day of the week, before I can get down to work on that - setting up the camera and beginning the long process of making one - other more important work gets in the way. The 'problem' about being the head manager here is that we're always in the situation of having other people depending on 'my part' getting done first, before they can do their work, whether it be carving, printing, office stuff, you name it … So yeah, videos are coming, but ...

Dave,

The print is a stunner....it came last Monday and I waited to open it (that nearly killed me) until Alex from McClains arrived...we meet once a week to pretend we know what we are doing with Moku Hanga,,,it was so much more fun to open it together! We spent a long time looking it over and enjoying it. What an amazing effort!

I bet you will be reprinting this one soon.

I have so enjoyed being a small part of this ride,( I think I got involved with the Baren at the 2nd exchange and now we are on 67,)...and seeing your success. No one deserves it more.

David,

I received my print of "The Great Wave" a few days ago. This is now my favorite piece in my collection. Bravo to you and your team, a beautiful piece of art.
