大英博物館のインスタグラム(britishmuseum) - 6月16日 23時38分

This is the first print in a three-panel artwork by Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1864). The three panels come together to show a rare depiction of the traditional Japanese woodblock printing process. Here we can see the range of colours used in this style of artwork – from muted autumnal oranges to bright electric blues. The pigments in traditional Japanese prints came from numerous different sources, including plants and minerals. In the late 1820s a new synthetic pigment, Prussian blue, caused a sensation as it was a stable colour that resisted fading over time.
