Lubok (English spelling)

Japanese: ルボーク(英語表記)lubok
Lubok (English spelling)
This refers to Russian folk prints. They first appeared in Russia after the 17th century, but the term, referring to the bark used to make woodblock prints, was first used in the 1820s by the customs and manners researcher Snegiryov. At first woodblock prints were used, later copperplate and lithograph prints, and sometimes hand-colored prints were added. By extension, lubok also refers to inexpensive popular literature that uses these prints as illustrations. The subjects are extremely diverse, including religious tales and myths from the Bible, calendars, arithmetic, geography, astronomy, history, literature, textbooks on reading, social customs, and folk tales.
