Japanese Prints by Gabriele Fahr-Becker Taschen 1999

Japanese Prints by Gabriele Fahr-Becker.

Amongst the most celebrated of the artists featured here are Utamaro, with his beautiful courtesans and geishas; Sharaku, with his portraits of actors on the kabuki stage; Hokusai, with his landscapes, among them the "36 Views of Mount Fuji...
