Origins of a Medium: Buddhist Prints

The influence of Buddhism courses through the history of woodblock printmaking. The first popular use of the medium in Japan occurred during the Heian period (794-1185). At this time, woodblock prints were produced as acts of devotion and portrayed a vast range of imagery. Such devotional prints are exceptionally rare today and are usually unmarked or unsealed; therefore, the dating of these Buddhist prints is always attributed.
