The technique of traditional Japanese woodblock print as interpreted by contemporary artists

Abstract

The Japanese woodblock print has developed in the Land of the Rising Sun for many years and continues to amaze with its beauty and perfection in its manufacture. The greatest asset of a work of art is its technique. Many contemporary artists today draw inspiration from the work of Japanese woodblock print artists. In this article, the history and technique of the creation of Japanese woodblock print are presented, as well as the work of selected contemporary artists, who have been inspired by the craftsmanship of Japanese woodblock print when creating their own art, are discussed.
