 Pacific Asia
At the beginning of the 20th century, many artists - American and European - having discovered the Japanese color woodblock print, went to Japan to study and create prints of their own.  Many of these artists were women, particularly Americans.  With the outbreak of World War I, they returned to the United States.  After the war, their prints fell out of favor, but recently through museum exhibitions, there has been a renewed interest in this aspect of women's art.

Helen Hyde and Bertha Lum are best known for their color woodblock portrayals of Japanese life.  While Hyde portrayed mostly children, Lum also pictured Japanese mythology and fantasy.  Lum later travelled to China where she created raised-line color woodcuts.  Both of these artists are subjects of Smithsonian Institution Press monographs.
