◆STORY: The technique essential for creating a dramatic scene
As snow falls softly around them, a man and woman walk closely together beneath a single umbrella. The intimate scene is filled with a quiet, understated beauty. Although the composition is simple, what makes this work especially memorable is the remarkable skill of the printing.

The snowy ground is rendered using kimedashi embossing. No pigment is applied to the woodblock. Instead, the washi paper is pressed into the recessed areas of the block and worked from above with a brush or similar tool, applying strong pressure to raise the surface of the paper. This gives the snow a soft, three-dimensional sense of volume.

The patterns on the couple’s kimono are created using karazuri embossing. This technique works in the opposite way: again, no pigment is applied to the block, but the raised areas of the woodblock are printed into the paper, creating subtle indentations on the surface of the washi. This technique is used to express details such as birds’ feathers, animal fur, and woven patterns in kimono.

The man’s kimono is particularly noteworthy. The karazuri embossing is applied over a solid area of black ink, a technically demanding combination in printing. The result is an exceptionally refined effect, with remarkable attention given to even the smallest details.

Harunobu’s distinctive use of color, together with the delicate expressions and gestures of his figures, requires exceptional skill in both carving and printing. It is through the combined craftsmanship of the artist, carver, and printer that this dramatic scene is brought to life.
