This uncut sheet of four prints (harimaze) illustrates how precisely and economically an artist’s designs were transferred onto a woodblock that would be printed on a standard-size sheet of paper. This is a typical sheet of ōban size (approximately 15 by 10 inches), which in this case would have yielded four prints from each impression taken.
