TASCHEN BOOKS - Japanese Woodblock Prints. 40th Anniversary Edition

The Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon with no Western equivalent. Breathtaking landscapes exist alongside blush-inducing erotica, ghosts and demons torment the living, and sumo wrestlers and kabuki actors are rock stars. This condensed edition revisits the most exceptional prints from 1680–1938, presenting the finest impressions in museums and private collections worldwide.

Hardcover, 15.6 x 21.7 cm, 1.41 kg, 512 pages
