This full-colour catalogue illustrates and describes over 300 surimono (privately published deluxe Japanese prints) belonging to the Graphics Collection of the Museum of Design Zurich, which were recently placed on long-term loan to the Museum Rietberg Zurich. Originally bequeathed to the Museum of Design by the Swiss collector Marino Lusy (1880-1954), the collection includes many rare and previously unpublished examples. Edited by John T. Carpenter, with contributions from a distinguished roster of Edo art and literary specialists, this groundbreaking scholarly publication investigates surimono as a hybrid genre combining literature and art. Introductory essays treat issues such as text-image interaction and iconography, poetry and intertextuality, as well as the operation of Kabuki fan clubs and poetry circles in late 18th and early 19th century Japan. Other essays document Lusy's accomplishments as a talented lithographer inspired by East Asian art, and as an astute collector who acquired prints from Parisian auction houses and dealers in the early 20th century. Translations of kyoka (31-witty verse) that accompany images are given for all prints. The volume also includes a comprehensive index of poets with Japanese characters. This publication is not only indispensable to specialists in ukiyo-e, but has much to offer any reader interested in traditional Japanese art and literature.

From the Back Cover:
Reading Surimono. The Interplay of Text and Image in Japanese Prints presenteert zo¿n 300 surimono (luxe gedrukte Japanse prenten met gedichten) uit de collectie van het Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich, Zwitserland. Recentelijk zijn zij in permanente bruikleen gegeven aan het Museum Rietberg in Zürich. De collectie is oorspronkelijk bij elkaar gebracht door de Zwitserse verzamelaar en kunstenaar Marino Lusy (1880-1954) en bevat vele zeldzame en tot dusver niet eerder gepubliceerde prenten. De verfijnde druktechnieken van de surimono komen prachtig tot hun recht in de ruim 400 kleurenillustraties die het boek telt, waaronder vele werken van beroemde prentkunstenaars als Hokusai, Hokkei, Gakutei en Kunisada.
Samensteller en hoofdauteur van het boek is John Carpenter, een autoriteit op het gebied van surimono. Het boek bevat tevens essays van 11 specialisten in de Japanse kunst en literatuur van de Edo periode (1603-1868). Tezamen resulteert dit in een baanbrekende studie die een nieuw en zeer uitgebreid licht werpt op het genre surimono, waarbij de prenten bestudeerd worden als hybride prenten waarin beeld en tekst samengaan. De essays behandelen de iconografie van de prenten en thema¿s als intertekstualiteit, het functioneren van dichtersgroepen aan het eind van de 18e en begin 19e eeuw in Japan en de kunstwereld van Parijs aan het begin van de 20e eeuw, een paradijs voor Japanse prent verzamelaars. Alle prenten zijn in detail beschreven en bevatten vertalingen van alle gedichten in de prenten.
Deze publicatie is niet alleen onmisbaar voor kenners van Japanse prenten, maar biedt ook buitengewoon veel boeiende informatie voor mensen met interesse in Japanse kunst en cultuur.
