Synopsis

"This is the most comprehensive, authoritative, and easy-to-use tool for reading Japanese art signatures available. Its simplified approach allows users to find and identify over 11,000 names of Japanese artists and craftspeople, from all periods and in all media. The work includes a section on reading dates, a list of 300 modified and debased characters, and an index of provinces and place names, plus reproductions of date and censor seals on woodblock prints, publishers' trademarks and seals, and actors' and Genji mon. The Handbook is an indispensable tool for all students, scholars, collectors, and connoisseurs of Japanese art."
