Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. nside the Floating World presents an overview of Japanese social history from the seveenteenth through nineteenth centuries using images of children, actors, courtesans, and landscape. All of the most eminent woodblock artists are featured, including Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Utmaro. In the last two decades, visual culture of our own time has come under the scrutiny of specialists from such diverse disciplines as anthropology, sociology, film studies, psychology, comparative literature studies, and art history. Methodologies and critical practices have emerged from each discipline that focus on the wide range of experiences contemporary visual culture offers to its consumers. Inside the Floating World affords a unique opportunity to bring these recent critical approaches to bear on the historical and aesthetic issues surrounding Japanese printmaking. The book serves as both an introduction to and a serious explication of the social meanings imbedded in Japanese prints. 2.…

The exhibition and catalogue explore the intertwined worlds of art, popular culture, commerce and society of Edo Japan in a focused examination by a team of renowned experts." excerpt from the preface by Vishahka N. Desai, President of the Asia Society.; "This exhibition brings together approximately one hundred fifty paintings, woodblock prints and illustrated books, with images known as ukiyo-e, or pictures of the floating world - The floating world was a new leisure industry of popular entertainment centered in the shogunal capital of Edo (modern Tokyo). The carefully selected images in the exhibition not only present the principals of that realm - the actor, the artist, the courtesan, the poet, the publisher, the patron - they also examine the confluences and contradictions in a time of enourmous social, cultural and economic change in Japan. The exhibtion and catalogue focus on individuals - adding to the already substantial scholarship on Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro - including the father of ukiyo-e, Hishikawa Moronobu, the artist and publisher Okumura Masanobu, the color innovator Susuki Harunobo, the master publisher Tsutaya Juzaburo and the briliant painter Katsukawa Shunsho." excerpt by the foreword by Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society. …
