Why do you think it took four different people to create a Japanese woodcut? Why didn't one person do all the work like most artists of today? Edg 2020

It took four people to create the Japanese woodcut because according to the Japanese tradition, woodcut is an important print that required the efforts of four people for perfection. Unlike other paintings, the woodcut is very complex.

Explanation:

One of the oldest forms of print-making is the woodcut. It is made when an image is cut into a wooden surface, put in ink, and printed on another surface like fabric.

The Japanese woodcut prints were created by a collaboration between four people namely; an artist, a publisher, a printer and a block cutter.

This print is known as ukiyo-e prints. It involved the division of labor as the Printer printed w

First of all, the workload. After carving small, tiny details into a woodcut for days, it would certainly do a load on your eyes and your consciousness. One cannot stay focused for so long, thus they have to take breaks, making the production speed slower. Multiple people can switch off to create the wood in order to accelerate the speed of the woodcut. It would most likely look better as well, since they don’t have to spend as much time on it independently. Most people would get tired after eating the same thing everyday, this also happens when people draw the same thing for days, they too would get bored of it. Overall, multiple people would increase the speed of production, have less strains on the artists, and would make the woodcut look better.

Also, the journals are kinda biased. It doesn’t matter how detailed I get with these explanations, I’ll still get a 0. Don’t worry about these too much, they hardly matter (since they’re computer graded).

hashbrowns you can make these with those preperation methods

any school based questions?
