520 _a"Tools and materials illustrating the Japanese method of colour-printing" by Edward Strange is a descriptive catalogue published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1913. This book serves as a scholarly publication documenting the techniques of Japanese woodblock printing, a significant aspect of Japanese artistic heritage. The text is aimed at both educators and art enthusiasts interested in the historical methods and tools used in this intricate art form. The book details the entire process of Japanese colour-printing, starting from the drawing of designs by artists to the engraving of woodblocks, the application of colours, and the final printing techniques. It explains how different blocks were made for each colour and emphasizes the skill required in executing the prints accurately. The various tools used, such as chisels and the unique "Baren" printing tool, are described, along with the types of paper and pigments employed in creating the prints. Enhanced by illustrations and historical notes, this catalogue provides invaluable insights into the craftsmanship that characterized Japanese woodblock prints, illustrating their evolution and significance in both historical and contemporary contexts.
