A woodcut is a type of picture. It is a print taken from a carved piece of wood. A lot of medieval books have this kind of picture. A Japanese woodcut is simply a woodcut style picture from Japan.

This is already answered above but for some gorgeous examples try & check out the work of Ukiyo e artists Hiroshige & Hokusai.
