This is the centre print in a triptych by Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada. In the traditional printing process, an artist would create a final drawing that would then be made into a print by transferring the image onto a block of mountain cherry wood. This wood is known as yamazakura, and is used because its grain is dense and durable. The master block cutter pastes the artist’s drawing on the wood and traces the lines onto the block with a chisel. They cut along either side of the lines, and then remove the surrounding wood to leave a network of raised ridges – the outlines of the final print.
