Making a Woodblock Print


This step-by-step sequence demonstrates the successive stages in printing a woodblock print by Ohara Shoson (1877-1945) titled "Yanagibashi Bridge in the Snow." The sequence was issued in 1935 as a full-size accordion-style booklet by a source identified only as "the proprietor of the Wanatabe Colour-prints Shop."
