Nishiki-e, woodblock prints in full color, were a widely available visual medium before the advent of the photograph. In the mid-18th century, when many foreign goods were imported and modern institutions widely established, nishiki-e were published prolifically to report these novel things. This project aims to organize information on nishiki-e depicting industrial scenes so that the information can be utilized for research on the modernization of society. |
