This is a wood block print is a special type of wood block print that is used to decorate the window.
They are divided into 3 categories;
– on the side of the window
– on top of the window
– on the window lattice
Those for the side of the window are generally long, like this one (which is to be cut into 2 long strips). The theme are mostly of the flower with traditional flower vases. This particular print features the peony and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The one that are placed over the window are horizontal and long, an example of this will be featured in tomorrow’s post.
Those placed on the window lattice resembles paper cutouts for the same purpose.
