Ukiyo-e / Japanese Woodblock (1600s–1900s)

Ukiyo-e considered as a print process rather than as Western influence: the carved keyblock defines bold fluid outlines; successive colour blocks registered precisely create flat areas; bokashi gradients blend colour within a single block. The result has specific technical qualities no digital tool fully replicates — the line quality of a brush-cut block, the flatness of water-based pigment, the spatial logic of Hiroshige's atmospheric distances.
