"Japanese Print Its Evolution and Essence" Book by Muneshige Narazaki

About the Item

The Japanese print: its evolution and essence Book by Muneshige Narazaki. "In this book the author attempts to place the Japanese print in a very broad historical setting. He has striven to grasp and transmit an understanding of Japanese popular culture from its inception in the 15th century to the formation of the ukiyo-e school in the late 17th century, through the flourishing period of the ukiyo-e print in the 18th century, and into the 19th century, when it was absorbed into the culture of Modern Times. The later prints are treated in a new way. No longer are they put into the category of a "decline" and "downfall," where most of the earlier critics and historians put them. The author recognizes the late period as one of social disintegration and cultural chaos, but he conceives of it as a transition, as a sort of revolution or Renaissance of popular art, and the significance of the Renaissance is emphasized."

  • XXL Japanese Woodblock Prints Book
    By TASCHEN
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Woodblock Wonders A visual history of 200 Japanese masterpieces From Edouard Manet’s portrait of naturalist writer Émile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh’s meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art. In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe—but often remains misunderstood as an “exotic” artifact that helped inspire Western creativity. The fact is that the Japanese woodblock print...
