Ukiyo-e: The Art of the Japanese Print takes a thematic approach to this iconic Japanese art form, considering prints by subject matter: geisha and courtesans, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, erotica, nature, historical subjects and even images of foreigners in Japan.An artist himself, author Frederick Harris-a well-known American collector who lived in Japan for 50 years-pays special attention to the methods and materials employed in Japanese printmaking. The book traces the evolution of ukiyo-e from its origins in metropolitan Edo (Tokyo) art culture as black and white illustrations, to delicate two-color prints and multicolored designs. Advice to admirers on how to collect, care for, view and buy Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints rounds out this book of charming, carefully selected prints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181711421728,"sku":"NEW4805310987","price":28.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91rSGM4sUzL.jpg?v=1786600259","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ukiyo-e-the-art-of-the-japanese-print-4805310987","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
