There is a drawing or a copy of it coming from the artist. Then the woodcutter and the printer take over. Their skill varies. Hokusai once wrote to one of his editors that he was not happy with one of the woodcutters. In the case of the new cuts of the 36 views of the Fuji, only experts can distinguish the many versions - mainly by differences of the frame around the script Attribution: Katsushika Hokusai [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Source: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/The_Fuji_from_the_mountains_of_Totomi.jpg |
