I want to discuss to recreate this category, because it is an own printing method see en:Woodblock printing and many cats within Woodcuts of Japan Oursana (talk) 14:34, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That seems reasonable to me, so long as the category descriptions make the distinction clear. - Themightyquill (talk) 19:06, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Category "Woodblock Prints" represent a printing technique that is as valid a category as Engravings, Etchings, or Lithographs. The term "woodcuts" is related, but never used to describe the multi-colored Japanese prints. If a change is to be made, Woodcuts should be a subcategory of Woodblock Prints.

see Metropolitan:Woodblock Prints, Woodblock printing Nishiki-e; cats just the other way: woodblock prints subcat to woodcuts, see Woodblock printing--Oursana (talk) 00:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Oursana: Would you like to change Category:Woodcuts of Japan to Category:Woodblock prints of Japan? Combining them in that category while separating them elsewhere seems confusing. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:34, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Woodcuts of Japan is the supercat to Category:Woodblock prints of Japan, as there are both techniques specially later, sometimes the museums do not tell us that it is woodblock print and use the more general woodcut, same in German.-rijksmuseum-Oursana (talk) 12:18, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wmpearl and Oursana: Did you manage to find consensus here? - Themightyquill (talk) 18:52, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know--Oursana (talk) 20:17, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NotesI'm not clear on the exact thing that was changed here, but it seems to have been resolved. So I'm closing it as "done."
