"Utamaro: In no period more than the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries did the portrayal of women occupy so large a place in the art of Japan. The bijin-ga or 'pictures of beautiful women; were, in fact, the most popular of the ukiyo-e prints. And the work of Kitagawa Utamaro, more than that of any other ukiyo-e artist, reflects the importance of the role played by women in the life of Edo - particularly the women of the gay quarters.".

"Hokusai: Sketches and Paintings: Hokusai, perhaps because of his humble origins and great versatility, was one of the few artists of his time to be able to bring together all aspects of the life around him. The extravagant, artificial world of the Edo merchant's beloved Yoshiwara gay quarters and kabuki theater, the poverty-stricken peasants of the provinces, the lowly artisans, the vendors and prostitutes of the capital - all these were part of Hokusai's world.".

"Harunobu: As the first ukiyo-e artist to successfully develop the full-color woodblock print, Suzuki Harunobu marks an important turning point in the history of the ukiyo-e. Previous artists had made color prints, but it was Harunobu and a group of followers who first perfected the polychrome print - a development all subsequent ukiyo-e artists were to utilize.".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Contains minor shelf wear. Pages are clean and in great shape. Binding is tight. Ever since Japan opened its doors to the West in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Westerners have been fascinated by the exquisite art forms that flourished during the previous two hundred year…s of self-imposed isolation. Among the most intriguing were the bold yet refined paintings and prints known as ukiyo-e, which portrayed the diverse preoccupations of the people of Edo Japan. Such was the appeal of this unique art in the West that tens of thousands of superb prints eventually found their way into European collections, constituting perhaps the largest single genre of Japanese art to have left the country's shores.Unfortunately, little more than a sampling is on view to the public at any given time, and lesser still are the chances to see these prints in venues outside of Europe. Masterpieces of Japanese Prints: The European Collections presents for the first time in English a prime selection of ukiyo-e from major European collections.The present volume highlights over 130 outstand. ing examples from the vast holdings of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Strikingly original and sumptuously colored, the ukiyo-e in these pages recapture the spirit of the period in which they were created. Here can be found the glamorous courtesans of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters, the flamboyant vigor of kabuki theater, and the eloquence and drama. of Japanese landscape.The prints form a breathtaking panorama of the world of ukiyo-e from its inception by artists originally trained in classical schools of Japanese painting to its final flowering at the end of the nineteenth cen-tury. Complementary texts by Rupert Faulkner and Richard Lane illuminate the craft of woodblock print making and explore the emergence of such versatile geniuses as Hokusai and Hiroshige.The influence of Japanese woodblock prints remains strong to this day. Their lasting appeal may be rooted in the richness of their imagery and the power of their innovation, or perhaps in their uncanny ability to convey with irresistible charm the unerring vitality of Edo Japan. Whatever the case, this lavish volume seeks not only to pay homage to the Japanese artists and craftsmen who took the woodblock print to unprecedented heights, but also to capture the essence of this astonishingly versatile art form. 1st Print.
