Did you know that Japanese prints were traditionally made using a series of woodblocks that applied individual colors layer by layer?! Ellen learned more about the process at the Tokyo National Museum @tokyonationalmuseum 🌊🌊🌊

This print is a simplified version of “the Actor Ōtani Oniji III as the Servant Edobei” by Tōshūsai Sharaku, created during Japan’s Edo Period (1603–1868). The Edo-era saw the popularization of “ukiyo-e,” or “pictures of the floating world,” that included prints like this one!
