Since its discovery by the Western World in the nineteenth century, the Japanese wood block print has awakened the interest of a growing number of collectors and connoisseurs. In bust portraits, genre and Kabuki scenes, landscapes and erotica, the artists of this hybrid school of painting and print design achieved a mastery previously unknown in these fields, forming a fitting conclusion to the long and glowing tradition of classical Japanese Art. In addition, ukiyo-e gives an incomparable record of Japanese life in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, before and after the opening of Japan to the West. Written by one of the foremost experts on Japanese prints, "Images from the Floating World" is an extensive history of the development of ukiyo-e in its sociological context and of the lives of its master, with particular emphasis on the innovation in style and techniques that each one contributed. Not limited strictly to the major artists, the work also takes into account the followers and schools, giving a comprehensive view of one of the most important epochs in Japanese Art, illustrated by over 900 drawings in colour and black and white.…
