Publisher's Note
This finely illustrated book presents a broad survey of the history of Japanese woodblock prints-known as ukiyo-e -- the influential genre created by craftsmen and popularized by the townspeople of premodern Japan. Professor Tadashi Kobayashi, an established authority in the field, traces the development of ukiyo-e through its 250-year history and explores its wide range of styles, artists, and printing techniques. He explains the social conditions and public tastes of Edo-period Japan, which often determined the subjects chosen by the woodblock artists of the day: beautiful courtesans, kabuki actors, and views of Mount Fuji. Detailed descriptions of each color plate complete the discussion, providing invaluable insight into these enduring masterpieces.
