‘Sleeping Xich Lo’ Hoi An - Dzo paper

For my Hoi An series I made a selection of woodcut prints inspired by many trips around the ancient town. On one walk I came across this xich lo driver who fell asleep whilst reading his paper! These peddle taxis are a symbol of Hoi An and effortlessly weave in and out of the tourist crowds ringing their bells.
 
Single layer woodcut print, carved from a 10 x 15cm Japanese magnolia woodblock and printed on handmade traditional Vietnamese dzo paper.
