Yoshiko Yamamoto is one of the premier block printers in the Arts and Crafts style. Yamamoto's block prints are letterpress printed using hand-cut blocks on acid-free paper.
Letterpress printing is a relief print process. The printed image is produced by a raised surface (lead type for example) being inked and then impressed onto a sheet of paper. These raised surfaces have historically been anything from woodcuts to wood engravings, from linocuts to typefaces. Over the past several years, a new type of plate made from photopolymer has contributed to a revival in letterpress printing. Yoshiko Yamamoto uses all of these methods, from woodblocks, linoleum blocks, to photopolymer plates.
