Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Around C.E.768–770, Buddhist missionaries from China introduced hand-printing technology into Japan. The Buddhists' Diamond Sutra is the oldest Japanese book printed in C.E.868. The book contains 6 sheets of text and woodcut illustrations. The book printed pictures on textiles, paper money, and playing cards. Poems and prose writings were published regularly, and books were plentiful and cheap in mediaeval Japan. Flourishing urban circles in Edo(modern Tokyo) published illustrations of paintings, artists, courts, and bookstores filled with hand-printed items like musical instruments, books on women, calculation, cooking, and famous places in the late 18th century. A famous example is Kitagawa Utamaro's contribution to the art form called Ukiyo.
