“A quarter-millennium’s worth of prints reveal the evolving tastes of Japanese artists over the ages, and the impact of this art form on global culture” * The New York Times *
“A dreamlike stroll through the most beautiful landscapes of this fantasized Japan.” * Vogue *
“I envy the Japanese for the enormous clarity that pervades their work... they draw a figure with a few well-chosen lines as if it were as effortless as buttoning up one’s waistcoat.” * Vincent van Gogh *
