Book DescriptionThe art of Japanese woodblock printing, known as ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world"),reflects the rich history and way of life in Japan hundreds of years ago. Ukiyo-e: The Art of theJapanese Print takes a thematic approach to this iconic Japanese art form, considering prints bysubject matter: geisha and courtesans, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, erotica, nature, historicalsubjects and even images of foreigners in Japan. An artist himself, author Frederick Harris—awell-known American collector who lived in Japan for 50 years—pays special attention to themethods and materials employed in Japanese printmaking. The book traces the evolution ofukiyo-e from its origins in metropolitan Edo (Tokyo) art culture as black and white illustrations,to delicate two-color prints and multicolored designs. Advice to admirers on how to collect, carefor, view and buy Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints rounds out this book of charming, carefullyselected prints.
