This was a desirable medium of creating art because it was more favorable for mass production, as mass producing individual drawings would be much more time consuming and wood prints is more efficient. This reminds me of how the famous artwork &#8220;The Great Wave off Kanagawa&#8221; by Hokusai is also a woodblock print. It is interesting to see how artistic medium techniques are used across centuries as well as different cultures as well. Something else that interested me from our class discussion today was how 15th century people were attracted to manuscripts with the topic of the Book of Revelations.
