“The Japanese found out centuries ago that, of all woods, mountain cherry, properly seasoned, is best suited for the making of wood-cuts. It is even and close in texture and though hard it is easily cut. It yields colour in printing in the best possible way…. I used one set of English cherry-wood blocks and found the wood admirable, otherwise I find native American cherry-wood quite suitable.”
Walter J. Phillips, “Making a Wood-Cut,” in Another Wood-Cut
