Their popularity, beauty and themes inspired 20th-century artists who continued to make them, using the same techniques and developing new ones. This rare Butterfly Bow woodblock print by a contemporary Scottish artist was made with 14 blocks and 27 colors. Take a look at more examples and their auction prices.
