Most of the woodcuts on this site are made by printing the black block, and then painting watercolors washes over the prints, after the printing ink has dried. Here on this page I am using the more traditional technique where the printmaker carves a separate block for each color.
Artists in both europe and Asia developed Multi-block printing techniques independently of one another, but with some differences in technique. For example, in Europe, the pigments were oil-based, while in Asia, the pigments were water-based.

Drag the 5 blocks onto this square, left to right, top then bottom.
