Japanese woodblock printing, known as ukiyo-e and moku hanga, flourished during the Edo period and later, often combining artistic expression with scientific documentation of flora and fauna.

Traditional pieces were printed using water-based inks on handmade mulberry paper (washi) carved onto cherry wood blocks by skilled artisans.

Authentication involves examining paper fibres, ink bleed patterns, publisher seals, signature stamps, and signs of ageing such as toning or oxidisation.

Pairing historical botanical art with contemporary minimalist frames and neutral walls allows the intricate details and muted tones of the artwork to stand out.

To prevent fading and degradation, frame prints using UV-resistant glass, acid-free mats, and hang them away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
