SKU: SS-006367
Japanese woodblock prints are a phenomenon with no Western equivalent, featuring breathtaking landscapes and a provocative eroticism that can make the skin flush; a place where demons and otherworldly creatures torment the living, and where sumo wrestlers and kabuki actors become rock stars. This XXL book lifts the veil on a beloved yet little‑understood art by revealing the stories and people behind the most extraordinary 200 prints dated between 1680‑1938. The work, compiled from the finest impressions in museums and private collections worldwide, includes contributions from 89 artists and also features 17 folded pieces.
