ISBN: 0-7148-4538-8 Language: English Description: The art of the ukiyo-e (images of the Floating World), originated in the city of Edo (1603-1867, now Tokyo) when the political and military power of Japan was in the hands of the Tokugawa shoguns. Comprising six essays, six catalogue sections and over 600 illustrations, this beautiful book provides a perfect introduction to the art of this period. The paintings, scrolls and prints reproduced here demonstrate not only the new urban pleasures of the theatre, restaurants, teahouses and geisha, but also Japan's love of nature and tradition. This livishly illustrated book provides a fascinating yet scholarly study of such masters as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro.
