Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Japanese woodblock prints, or ukiyoe, occupy a singular position in the lexicon of world art. They enthralled such Western artists as Whistler, Manet, Degas, and van Gogh, and gave rise to a wave of 'japonisme' in the salons of Paris, London, and New York that left a lasting impression.As the successor to previous aristocratic traditions, the ukiyoe print represents the last flowering of traditional pictorial art before Japan entered the modern era. These 'pictures of the floating world' reflected the world of the townspeople of Edo (Tokyo), focusing on the popular entertainmentsof the day, landscapes of favored scenic spots, and portraits of wellknown geisha, kabuki actors, and sumo stars.The present volume delves into the history of these unique artistic endeavors, tracing their development from the lavish works commissioned by aristocratic patrons in the sixteenth century to their peak in popularity among the rising merchant class of the flourishing future capital. As the story ofthe genre's blossoming unfolds, Mr. Kobayashi's illuminating commentary on all its varied aspectsstyles, artists, engravers, printers, and the demands of an insatiable but fickle publiccaptures the essence of the art and provides a fascinating glimpse into the culture of old Japan. With the largecolor plates and numerous detailed closeups accompanying the text, Ukiyoe: An Introduction is essential reading for anyone interested in exploring the exotic world of the Japanese print.
