Question
Answer the following question briefly.
How had hand printing technology introduced in Japan?
Solution
Print technology in Japan was started by the Buddhist missionaries from China around AD 768-770. The Buddhist Diamond Sutra was the oldest Japanese book printed in AD 868. It contained six sheets of texts and woodcut illustrations. Picture printing became popular in Japan. Pictures were printed on textiles, playing cards and paper money which made publishing very interesting. More and more books were published. Libraries and book stores were flooded with hand-printed books on women, flower arrangements, cooking, musical instruments, calculations, daily habits, and proper etiquette, etc.
