I love Japanese prints, with Ukiyo-e being my favorite. This print from "Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji" is a favorite of mine, and includes a wonderful explaination and illustration for how these woodblock prints were made. It even includes pictures of the woodblocks, showing how the grain of the wood (highlighted so beautifully in the water of this print) adds to the artists drawing. A very nice site to explore!
