“Our most popular large print and the original in our Forest Canopy Print series. Inspired by the shelter, protection and seasonal colour offered by great old Beech trees in a west of Ireland rain shower. Beech trees are the first to gain their leaves in Spring and the last to loose them in Winter” Jo Anne About This Print This is a handmade print, printed on handmade washi (Japanese paper). Strong, warm bold colours and shapes sit atop a delicate, partially translucent paper. The print is from a hand-cut lino block.

Each print block is hand-printed onto a 34gsm long-fibred handmade Japanese washi paper from Awagami Factory in Tokushima, Japan, where they have been making washi papers for eight generations.
