Itō Jakuchū published the original Genpo Yōka ("Jewel Flowers of the Immortal's Habitat") in 1768, using a technique called takuhanga, pressing dampened paper onto self-carved woodblocks and applying ink from the surface to leave recessed areas white, rendering the flowers, vegetables, and insects for which he was celebrated as a painter in striking monochrome images.
This is a modern reprint by Unsōdō, a Kyoto publisher founded in 1891 continuing a long tradition of fine woodblock printing.
