Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the evolution of Japanese engraving, an art form which reached its zenith in the 19th century. The author traces the roots of Japanese engraving to the 17th century and the work of Hishikawa Moronobu who ushered in the 'floating world' genre that flowered into the distinct Ukiyo-e style of the 18th and 19th centuries. The book examines how Ukiyo-e engraving was revolutionised by the introduction of colour printing and how this led to the creation of some of the most iconic images in Japanese art, focusing on the work of such masters as Hokusai and Hiroshige. The author also delves into the woodblock engraving techniques that made this art possible and which remain a vibrant part of the Japanese artistic tradition. An essential resource for enthusiasts and scholars of Japanese art, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the techniques, history, and enduring impact of Ukiyo-e woodblock engraving.
