Beschreibung:

Bokashi is a technique involving the gradation of ink on a woodblock to create different degrees of lightness and darkness within the same application of color or colors. Ukiyo-e artists used bokashi to convey depth; create atmosphere, such as on the horizon, sky, or sea; or suggest the visual properties of a decorative surface. Eisen notably used bokashi to execute all three effects through a complex layering of inks in a single print, resulting in an almost painterly composition, as seen here.
