International Nosatsukai Membership Sign-ups Now Open.
We are currently accepting members for the 2026 International Nosatsukai!
One hundred places will be available for the February 2026 nōsatsukai. This number will be raised for successive kai if the number of applicants is higher than expected. The theme of two of the kai will be chosen by the organisers. The theme of the remaining kai will be chosen from ideas submitted by members. The number of participants will determine the print run of each print. International Nōsatsukai prints will not be sold or given by the organisers to non-participants.
Payment must be received by the end of January for one-year memberships. For single-kai memberships, the payment for each kai must be received two months in advance of the relevant kai. Members will have the option of extending their membership at the end of their subscription. Membership costs may change in successive years as labour and material costs change. Please note that membership costs do not include the production of custom-made single senshafuda. The positions of members’ names in the prints will be determined by lottery.
To our knowledge, this will be the first international nōsatsukai in history. The nōsatsukai will provide members with the opportunity to share their love of Japanese woodblock prints by actively participating in the production of new artworks
and supporting papermakers, calligraphers, carvers, printers, and artists involved in print production. The exchange of commissioned senshafuda—the core of all nōsatsukai—will also provide members with opportunities for networking and creative collaboration. We hope you join us in writing this new chapter in the history of senshafuda!
