Having lived in Japan for a good part of my life, I have developed an appreciation of their culture. Among those that I find very interesting are woodblock prints. I prefer the ones depicting landscapes and seascapes but also like the ones showing typical life in old Japan. I have purchased and sent greeting cards featuring these prints. And so, when I found about a site featuring a collection of these prints, I curiously browsed the contents. Following is a nice website with a splendid open database of prints now available in electronic form:
Japanese woodblock prints
I thought this was a nice opening to the month of October and for autumn, which is just around the corner.
