Ganden Monastery... printers


The father and son printing team mentioned earlier, outside the library. They had a smooth system... the man would roll black ink across the block, the boy would lay a peice of paper down, then the man used a wooden roller to roll across the paper laying on the inked up block. The boy then removed the sheet and layed it aside to dry. They were ON.. one motion after the other in perfect time and rhythm. SLAP ROLL SWISH... SLAP ROLL SWISH
The bottom photo is looking back into the library. Nice doorway huh?
