- Description: A landmark scholarly survey of ukiyo-e (浮世絵) — Japanese woodblock prints — from their origins in the 17th century through the Meiji era. Richard Lane, one of the foremost Western authorities on the subject, traces the development of the tradition in its full sociological context, examining the lives and techniques of its masters with particular attention to stylistic innovation. Covers genre painting, Kabuki imagery, landscapes, shunga, and illustrated books. Over 900 color and black-and-white plates make this one of the most comprehensively illustrated references in the field. The substantial illustrated dictionary of ukiyo-e provides biographical entries on artists, glossary of terms, and artist seals — an invaluable research tool for collectors and scholars alike.
