Wrinkles and a fold may sometimes be attached to the edge of a wood-block print work. These wrinkles are generated during the process in making a wood-block print. Before printing a wood-block print, Japanese paper is made which is wet from the process. The paper is then dried before it is used. Black ink is applied to the wood-block, the dried paper is put on the wood-block, and pressure is applied to produce the print on the paper. Wrinkles are produced due to differences in the elastic rate of the Japanese paper. The wrinkles are characteristic of the printing process using paper and are proof that the print was made by the traditional process.
