Embossing or gauffrage is a technique that creates a relief on the surface of a substrate. We find it on paper or cardboard, fabric, leather or wood. It is also an artistic technique. In Japan, it is known as Karazuri, and preponderantly entered the artistic prints. Here we discuss Karazuri in Nishiki-e printing.
