Japanese Woodblock Prints

The Japanese Woodblock Prints, published by Taschen, is a phenomenal book, with no Western equivalent, where breathtaking landscapes exist alongside blush-inducing erotica; where demons and otherworldly creatures torment the living; and where sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, and courtesans are rock stars. This XXL Japanese Art book lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art, revealing the stories and people behind the 200 most exceptional prints from 1680–1938. Drawing from the finest impressions in museums and private collections around the world, Japanese Woodblock Prints book features the work of 89 artists as well as 17 fold-outs.
