Woodblock printing came to Japan from China around the 8th century. It's also one that Japanese woodblock artists eventually mastered. Making coloured woodblock prints is a complicated and time-consuming process. That's because each colour added during the printing process requires a separate block. Most early woodblocks were done in black and white, although some were later painstakingly coloured by hand. Using sharp blades called gouges, the areas that won't be printed are cut away, leaving the design in reverse on the block.The block is then inked and pressed onto a surface, for example, fabric or paper, leaving an impression of the image of the block.Woodblock printing is a very old art form.
