The Hotei Encyclopedia of Japanese Woodblock Prints (2 VOLUMES)
This groundbreaking, fully-illustrated two-volume set has brought together the knowledge and expertise of some fifty scholars from around the globe in a publication that is firmly rooted in the accomplishments of the past, but also explores new areas of study in Japanese woodblock prints. The over forty essays in Volume I examine the many facets of this medium from its social, art historical, publishing and collecting history to the materials and techniques used in its pro- duction, as well as issues of quality and connoisseur- ship. Volume 2 contains an extensive listing of short encyclopedic entries dealing with the various sides of Japanese prints from biographies on artists, publishers, block-cutters, collectors, scholars, actors and historical figures, to the types of subject-matter encountered in prints, and other areas relevant to print history such as print production and the publishing industry. The addition of appendices, lineage charts, seal facsimiles, chronology and bibliography make this an invaluable reference tool for the scholar, student, dealer and collector alike.
