Answer 1

Answer:

It took four people to create the Japanese woodcut because according to the Japanese tradition, woodcut is an important print that required the efforts of four people for perfection. Unlike other paintings, the woodcut is very complex.

Explanation:

One of the oldest forms of print-making is the woodcut. It is made when an image is cut into a wooden surface, put in ink, and printed on another surface like fabric.

The Japanese woodcut prints were created by a collaboration between four people namely;  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.
