Drawing on the Skinner Collection, John Stevenson documents how kite-makers and printmakers of Tokugawa Edo (1603–1867) and Meiji Tokyo (1868–1912) mutually influenced one another — kite-makers borrowing woodblock imagery for their bamboo-and-paper constructions, printmakers incorporating kites as symbols of seasonal festival, theatrical celebrity, and everyday urban life. Subjects range from Kabuki actors and courtesans to New Year festivals and views of Fuji. Includes a seal-dating table and annotated \"Anatomy of a Woodblock Print\" — practical reference features for collectors. \u003cem\u003eChoice\u003c\/em\u003e: \"indispensable for collectors and connoisseurs of Japanese woodblock prints.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51596077891901,"sku":"26L0152","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/fullsizeoutput_5b99.heic?v=1776298106","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/japanese-kite-prints-selections-from-the-skinner-collection-by-john-a-stevenson","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
