Covering the period from the beginning of the Japanese woodblock print in the 1680s until the year 1900, "Japanese Woodblock Prints" provides a detailed survey of all the major artists, along with the images on which their fame rests.
"The presentation is practically all-inclusive, covering artists and publishers from the 1660s to the 1940sImpeccably researched with an exhaustive bibliography, this is a work that demonstrates the highest level of scholarly achievement." --CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
"Marks's (director & chief curator, Clark Ctr. for Japanese Art) clear, informative text, while valuable for scholars beginning research, also remains accessible to the average reader. With excellent production values and a modest price, this volume is recommended for all libraries, academic and public." --Library Journal
"The meticulous organization of information notwithstanding, it is the prints which are the chief pleasure of the book: 523 prints that bring to life a Japan of heroic tales, beautiful women, ghosts, warriors, demons, and spring cherry blossoms. The exuberance of color, motion, and expression, all carefully arranged, make this a book for scholars and browsers, serious collectors and hedonists alike." --ForeWord Reviews
