Mokume-zuri is a Japanese term for woodblock prints with visible wood grain patterns.In the initial phase, from 1853 to 1857, a circular aratame seal was used along with a separate oval zodiacal date seal; again, these seals are usually directly next to each other, but occasionally they are separated. In 1858, the aratame seal was dropped, and the oval date seal appears alone.
