About This Book

This handbook presents a practical and historical account of relief colour printing from carved wood, explaining materials, tools, carving methods, registration and inking, paper preparation and hand-printing techniques used in Japanese practice, with drawings, examples and a specimen print. It discusses translating design into workmanship, selection of timbers and pigments, methods for multi-block colour registration, and finishing processes, illustrated by collotype reproductions and technical diagrams. A brief historical survey compares European tonal woodcut precedents with the flat-colour approach, while instructional chapters provide step-by-step workshop guidance aimed at both craftsmen and designers.
