This is a technique for creating printed pages, textiles, or even entire books by using an intricately carved block of wood to stamp lines and color onto the desired surface. This method dates to at least the 5th century AD in China, where it was invented, and by the 15th century the technique had spread to Europe. During the 15th century, wood-block printing was a popular means of printing books.
