Traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking, known as mokuhanga, is a collaborative effort, a relief printing technique that flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868).

The process utilizes water-based inks on handmade washi paper, allowing for vivid colors and transparency.

The production was a specialized team effort:
• Publisher: Commissioned the work and managed production and distribution.
• Artist: Created the initial brush drawing and design.
• Carver: Transferred the design onto cherry wood blocks and carved the relief.
• Printer: Applied ink and used a baren rubbing tool to transfer the image to paper.
