About Woodblock printing
Woodblock printing is one of the earliest known techniques for image and text reproduction. It is a relief printing technique, where carved wooden blocks are inked in order to create images on paper or fabric. In the history of Japanese art, woodblock printing played an important role. As the ukiyo-e genre of art gained prominence in Japan in the early 17th century, woodcuts served as a convenient way of filling the large demand for inexpensive prints.
