The great wave

When talking about woodblock prints, I have to mention the iconic great wave by hokusai. This print is been used in movies, posters, album covers and so on making it popular than any other woodblock print.

pattren+women=nice prints!!

There are some lovely patterns here and can be found on many ukiyo prints with women being their subject matter. Many ukiyo print makers including hokusai did studies on women as they considered them as a thing of beauty, which is a fact!!

what a beauty

The main attraction of the woodblock prints is the subject matter. beautiful landscapes and scenery give these prints an individuality and sense of escapism in to a peacefull and inspirational world.

ukiyoooo!!!

ukiyo woodblock prints have been around for centries. The final print quality is quite effective and visually stunning. I enjoy looking at various methods of printing and will be looking at other types prints.

This movie inspired many and if this wasnt made there would be no matrix!! It was matrix's inspiration and a catalyist for the trilogy. An important moment in movie history
