Japanese woodblock prints by Ogata Gekko (1859–1920) represent a unique and influential form of art that emerged from Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gekko was a self-taught artist who became known for his distinct style that blended traditional Japanese techniques with Western influences, which was a characteristic of the Meiji period in which he lived. His woodblock prints are celebrated for their delicate lines, subtle use of color, and often included themes of nature, history, and folklore.

Gekko's work is categorized under the broader umbrella of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," typically depicted scenes from everyday life, landscapes, and the entertainment quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). However, Gekko's prints often carried a more romantic and nationalistic tone, reflecting the cultural and political shifts of the Meiji Restoration.

Among Gekko's notable series of woodblock prints are "Gekko's Miscellaneous Drawings," which showcase a variety of subjects from landscapes to warriors, and "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji," which pays homage to the iconic mountain, a common motif in Japanese art. His work was not only popular in Japan but also gained international recognition, contributing to the Japonisme movement that influenced many European artists, including the likes of Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet.

Ogata Gekko's woodblock prints remain an important part of the history of Japanese art. They are held in high esteem by collectors and museums around the world and continue to be studied for their artistic and cultural significance. As a testament to his legacy, Gekko was awarded a gold medal for his work at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904, further solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the world of Japanese woodblock printing.
