Yep, it's exactly that. They make a carving in a wood block, then use that block to make prints. It is still practiced today. It's no longer considered cheap art for the working class, but is a bit higher end and expensive, but it's very much still practiced. I'll go and look for a video and send it to you.

Okay that is cool. It kind of sounds like what we did in school, but I don't think we carved right into the wood.
