Synopsis
In the West, we tend to associate Japanese prints with the ukiyo-etradition - prints based on the aristocracy, cultural heroes, actorsand the beautiful people of the time. These prints were (and are)considered to be fine art, using the highest quality of materials andimmense time and skill. But behind the scenes, Japanese printmakers inthe major cities were also catering for a working class culture, usingintense speed and poor quality materials to create beautifulmulti-coloured decorative papers, votive name cards, games, playingcards, gift envelopes, paper screens, etc. In this book, Rebecca Salterexplores this tradition and also the work that is still being donetoday in this field. The result is a fascinating look at an exciting and beautiful art form.
