Karpi, H.da - Karpi

Japanese: カルピ，H.da - かるぴ

...A type of colored woodblock print in which two or more (usually four to six) plates of shades of a single color or several shades of a similar color are used to create a light and dark effect. In Germany, it was made by Cranach and Burgkmair in 1507-10, and separately in Italy, Ugo da Carpi (c. 1450-c. 1527) applied for a patent in Venice in 1516. Many of the German-style prints had plates of only light and dark added to the finished image, and these were also called camaieus. ...

These techniques, which were also used in Flanders until the beginning of the 17th century, were passed on to wallpaper printing, etc. ...
