At that time those Christians who lived in Arima, Amakusa and Nagasaki were eager to produce single-sheet prints and publish them as frontispieces of books, which prevailed all over the country. Although there were a rise and decline in the history of etching for a long time, it has always remained only the special technique of a limited number of craftsmen. This may indicate the fact that etching, historically considered, has never enjoyed such popularity as wood-block printing has. Nevertheless, since much more stress has recently been placed upon the education of drawing and handicraft in our country, the Education Ministry felt it essential to include according to its new guiding principles wood-block printing (in a wider sense-etching included) as a required course in the primary and junior high school curriculum, as a result of which etching is now being taken up with the more enthusiasm. Of course, I do admit that it is quite difficult to explain well the technique of etching only through writing, but I hope that this paper will give you some idea of what etching is like.}, pages = {110--120}, title = {エツチング法技の研究について(美術関係)}, volume = {1}, year = {1959} }
