Why is Community Development Important? Community development is important because it provides the foundation a city builds off of to improve the lives of its citizens. It creates strong, diverse communities that are able to attract and keep talent, start and grow businesses, and overcome issues that arise.
It has to do with spirituality, symbolism, and tradition. It symbolizes putting a part of four peoples spirit into woodcut. It is a tradition for all four people to put their spirit into it.
The Japanese woodcut prints were created by a collaboration between four people: an artist, a publisher, a printer and a block cutter.
This print is known as ukiyo-e prints. It involved the division of labor as the Printer printed with water inks, the Publisher financed, the block cutter carved blocks and the artist drew the colors.
I believe that element is called
flying buttresses.
Flying buttresses support the walls of a building and given that they are quite slanted, they seem as if they are forming an arch with that particular wall they are leaned against. I've attached an image of them for you to see what I mean.
