Simply put, ukiyo-e is a print. It was produced using a technique called woodcut printing. Printing, and this is often mistaken even among professionals, has original stamps. Original stamps may be categorized into different techniques such as woodcut, copperplate, lithograph, silk screen and offset printing. For "the Windmill (風車)," the silk screen technique was used to print the art piece. In the Edo era, previously monochromatic woodcut printing started advancing and became vividly colored ukiyo-e, which was initially used in commercial flyers and handed out for free to permeate into the common people's lives.
