Woodblock Prints
Celebrated as much for color as pattern, the kimono is the traditional dress of Japan. Design often reflects the marital status of a woman. It can also show a specific season. Many different techniques are used for the making of kimonos: batik, shibori, and weaving. A tendency toward brighter colors and more opulent materials marks the Meiji period (1867-1912). At this time the Emperor regained his throne and opened Japan for foreign trade. This boosted the country’s prosperity. Kimono wearing has its own etiquette.
Woodblock printing flowered in the Edo Period, mid to late 19th century, and is still considered an art form of great precision and beauty. Matsui Yuoku captures both the vitality and life inherent in the kimono patterns in each color woodblock print. Following the artist sketch, an image is carved into a block of wood. Black inks form the outline of the flower and color inks are applied to specific areas. The woodblock is then pressed to hand-made screened paper which is then hung to dry. The entire process of composing a single image can take weeks.

The enthusiasm for nature prints has spanned the centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century these works, illustrating varieties of flowers in naturalistic styles, had reached a peak of perfection. Each artistic form in traditional printing sought to enhance the beauty of botany. In the woodblock style, as it true for engravings and lithographs, it is imperative that the carving of each block be exacting as they must create an image true to that seen in nature. For many, the dish garden is a re-creation of a favorite landscape design. It provides an opportunity to build a perfect pairing of ornament...Category
