  • NISHIKI-E (Multi Colored Woodblock Print, one type of UKIYO-E)

Nishiki-e is a Japanese, multi-colored woodblock printing method used from the mid-Edo Period through the Meiji Period. It is a type of Ukiyo-e print. We have collected a number of Nishiki-e relating to dietary culture, and they are available for viewing, along with explanations of the content at our site.
(Due to the quality protection for Nishiki-e, these collections are not actually displayed at Ajinomoto Dietary Culture Library.)
