| Originally trained in oil painting, the young artist turned to woodblock printmaking. |
| Shops selling Japanese woodblock prints, kimonos, fans and antiquities popped up in Paris like mushrooms. |
| Frightened is also a pretty picture, but the composition is a little complex, and we can almost hear the noise when the artist cut the woodblock. |
| With each copy printed from a woodblock, the impression quality worsened due to the wear of the block. |
| Softer than the sound produced by a temple block, the woodblock is a harsh and gritty instrument. |
| In contrast, western woodblock processes typically use oil-based inks applied by a roller onto the block. |
