In 1764 he brought forth that synthesis of theresources of his art which was to shake the Ukioyeworld. Whether he was the actual inventor of poly-chrome printing is not certain; some authoritiesattribute the invention to an engraver namedKinroku; but it is very clear that* Harunobu wasthe first to seize upon and realize the possibilitiesof the discovery. Some technical hindrance, suchas the difficulty of securing perfect register frommany blocks on the wet stretching sheets, hadprevented the earlier completion of the process;and it is possible that it was a printer who discoveredthe simple device needed to overcome the difficulty.This, however, is a matter of mere mechanics andhas no bearing upon the question of the real gloryof Ha^runobu. What is important is that he seizedthe new technique and made out of it an instrumentresponsive to every subtlest breath of his beauty-haunted spirit..

It is certain that he used eight blocks onat least one 1765 calendar print. In the end hehad at his command a palette which, by the useof no less than twelve or fifteen blocks, and withthe limitless number of shades obtainable by super-imposing one colour upon another, made the wholerainbow his. Constant experiment marked his furtherprogress. We have, for example, one print whichhe originally printed from eight blocks, and latervaried by increasing the blocks t
