This is a sale for two reversible Japanese Antique Wooden Printing Blocks. These Antique carved wooden stamps were used together in four separate stamping processes to produce a single printed artistic, decorative images. These were carefully hand-carved by a very skilled craftsman who was able to create four separate carvings that would work in harmony. The carver had no room for error and a single accidental cut or chip could ruin the entire work. The images carved have the look of'ukiyo-e', "images of the floating world". The multi colored image made with multiple colored inks (sumizuri-hissai) required registration marks,'kento', were used. This technique made it possible to print from many plates with high accuracy. These stamps are in good condition with no cracks, chips, or rot. The stamping surface is colored with the ink used in the printing process. Approximate Size of each Wooden Panel.
