"A magnificent collection of 22 authentic Japanese woodblock prints for you to color using your own colored pencils and/or fine markers...Arranged with a brief backstory of the print first, followed by a copy of the original print, beside a large 8 1/2" x 12" uncolored print for you to color as you please. The prints are on good quality paper, single-sided and perforated so you can easily tear out, share, display and even frame your works-of-art. Relaxing and inspiring!" --Handmade by Deb blog

"...Floating World Japanese Prints Coloring Book is more than just a coloring book! There are 22 images for you to color. Some are by the most famous artists Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai, and others are by lesser-known by fabulous artists. For each print, you'll get a page of information about the print, which has had me looking at them in new ways and seeing things I previously didn't see. Turn the page, and you'll see a large color version of the print with the artist title, and series information as well as the date of the original print. On the right side of the page, you have your own full-page black and white outline of the same print for you to color." --CastleViewAcademy.com
