More Japanese Woodblock Prints-Reproductions


Reproduction woodblock print, Taisho-1925 by Hiroshige
These prints are reproductions, meaning that the imagery is taken from older printed works. The blocks are re-carved by a master carver and printed by a master printer using the technique of mokuhanga. It was so difficult to make a decision about which prints to purchase. These are the prints I selected--because I think that they are amazing!
