I stumbled upon a collection of Japanese posters in one of our classrooms today. After browsing through the stack, I photographed some of my favourites.
The posters are reprints made by the Japanese printing firm Toppan in 1990.

This is the printing block that the previous halftones were printed from (see accompanying photos). The plate is attached to a wood block to make it type high. It's difficult to see the positive image when looking at this reverse one but I am pleased with the results.
Printing and papermaking provided occupational mobility for men, but roles allocated to women were more restrictive. Apart from brief periods (1860 to 1909 and during both World wars), it was practically unheard of for women to be employed within the main print house or papermill machine house.
As in this image, In printing firms, most worked in the bindery where their role was to collate, fold and hand sew books. In papermills women worked mainly in the ‘salle’ or overhauling department where paper was quality checked before being sent to customers. Women workers did not undergo the same intensive apprenticeship given to male counterparts. They learned on the job, often employed straight from school. Hours were long and wages low in comparison to men. Females were often paid piece rate; receiving a bonus depending on the number of items they completed per week.
As female labour was often used to undercut male wages, the response frequently was to exclude them from traditiona male spheres of work. In 1909 female compositors were banned from entry into the trade by an agreement between the union and the employers. Female unions were encouraged where there was no threat to the male workforce.

First attempt at printing a pattern directly onto a piece of cloth. Wasn't expecting much, but it worked surprisingly well, considering...
I didn't have any freezer paper as recommended in this Instructable, so I improvised.

These printing plates were made by the stereotype process from paper molds, called flongs, in which the flong was placed into a casting form and filled with liquid type metal. They appear to have been created for stamps and coin advertisements. These flat stereotypes would not have gone on a newspaper press. Instead, they would be mounted to the right height and locked down with a full page of a newspaper in flat form, from which yet another flong was made, and that flong was then cast as a curved stereotyped for the high-speed rotary presses used in newspaper printing. These all look to be from the early 1970s, just before letterpress/relief printing was in its dying days, used increasingly only by newspapers before they switched to modern offset, a massive expense.

A series of posters for the next Processing workshop to take place at La Fabrique Pola, in Bordeaux, France this summer. Each visual has been made using a generative palette of colours and are unique. We wanted to create a very simple system of communication that evoked the idea of patterns and tissue. The design is relatively straight forward but gives different optical effects depending on how you view certain areas of the page.
