Image description

Nishiki-e were a type of multi-coloured woodblock prints from Japan. The technique was primarily used in Ukiyo-e, and was invented in the 1760s. Before, woodblock prints were usually in black-and-white and were coloured either by hand or with the addition of one or two colour ink blocks.

Nishiki-e was credited to an engraver named Kinroku, but it was popularised and perfected by Suzuki Harunobu. Nishiki-e is sometimes also known as Edo-e, and became very popular during the Meiji Period, especially during the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), where over 3,000 prints were made in the 9-month period.
