Production of Japanese Spring Paintings

From 17 to 19, the popular woodcut art in the edo period in Japan mainly appeared in the form of picture books (that is, comics). Ukiyo-e painting is characterized by block printing, mass production, low price and easy purchase. /kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, there was only a single ink-printed painting (ink-folded painting) on the market, but soon there appeared a red-folded painting, with red as the main color, printed in yellow and green, and independently compiled into a "picture book", which opened a new realm in the history of Japanese painting. Ukiyo-e spring painting reached its peak in Beichuan at the end of Song Dynasty. The painter created many beautiful and unforgettable images with lines with plane tension and pure washing color.

In this development process, the great demand for beauty painting with spring painting as the main content is the most important thrust for the development of ukiyo-e painting. Almost all ukiyo-e painters are masters of spring painting, and even regard it as the main production theme. On the basis of beauty painting, works with sumo, scenery, flowers and birds and historical stories have gradually appeared. Ukiyo-e painting developed to the later stage, which was exquisite and dazzling, and amazed future generations.

Note: A ukiyo-e painting usually requires the joint efforts of painters, sculptors and printmakers. A version can generally print about 200 copies. The more colors, the more plates and the more complicated the process.
