- Description: Exhibition catalog for the landmark show held at the Portland Art Museum (October–December 1993) and the Cleveland Museum of Art (February–April 1994), taking a fresh look at the popular art of late 18th-century Edo — the golden age of ukiyo-e (浮世絵), roughly 1780 to 1800. Five major essays examine the artists, the culture, and the period, covering mass-media woodblock prints, paintings of beauties and Kabuki actors, surimono, comic novels, and the pleasure-quarter world that produced them. Masters including Utamaro, Sharaku, Kiyonaga, and Hokusai are represented. Exhibition pieces are illustrated in color and black and white with accompanying scholarly commentary. An important reference for collectors of Japanese prints and students of Edo visual culture.
