Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print Art Book 370 Prints Sharaku Utamaro Hokusai Japan. If you collect Japanese prints, or want to understand how they were actually made and sold, this is the reference you keep within arm's reach. It covers the whole arc of ukiyo-e — how the form emerged, the stages of its development, the workshops that produced it, and where it stands not only in Japanese art history but in the history of world art and world printmaking. The book takes you through the physical realities of the medium: how blocks were cut and printed, the standard formats and sizes, and the technical vocabulary that appears in auction catalogues and museum labels. It then extends past the Edo period into the Meiji era, with short histories of copperplate and lithographic printing that most introductory books skip entirely. The reference sections are the heart of it. You get biographies of the major print designers, charts of their artistic lineages, a list of the principal publishing houses with their seals and activities, a glossary of terms, and a chronology. A closing appendix deals with the practical side — what to look at when viewing a print, how collections are built, and questions of authentication. The text is in Japanese. Long regarded as a standard introduction since its first edition, it returns here in a compact revised edition of 232 pages. Published by Yuzankaku. Brand new, 2025 publication.
