A 2014 end-grain wood engraving by Takehiro Nikai, made by cutting hard wood with a burin. The artist uses camellia wood from trees several hundred years old, dried for years; scarcity of suitable wood and the demanding process mean a work of this size takes two to three years. Organic lines resonate within a dense dark field.

Understanding the technique
Woodcut prints are made by carving a wooden block, applying ink or paint to the raised surfaces, and printing them. In addition to the shapes of lines and planes, the layering of printed colors and the texture of the paper can reveal more detail.
This is a general explanation of the technique. It does not describe the specific production process or condition of this work.
