Mokulito

Mokulito or Mokurito (from Japanese 木材 (mokuzai) 'wood' and lito as an abbreviation of lithography), also known as Wood Lithography, is a method of lithographic (and sometimes planographic) printmaking where a drawing is created on a wooden matrix in an oily medium, which is then used to make a print. In all kinds of lithography, because oil and water do not mix, the plate can be prepared by chemical processes so that the printing ink sticks to the drawn areas, and is repelled from the blank areas. In contrast to traditional lithography, which requires a limestone block, the tools for mokulito are easily accessible to printmakers without specialized equipment.
