By Gabriele Fahr-Becker.
The masters of ukiyo-e are compiled in this gorgeous new book from Taschen! With over 130 color woodblock prints from 43 artists ranging from the 17th to 19th century, this is a comprehensive overview of the art form. Famous works by Hokusai and Hiroshige are presented along with Utamaro, Sharaku and many others. While landscapes, festivals and portraits are common themes of ukiyo-e, many of the prints here focus on the beauty and grace of women.
