<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Experience the humorous and satirical Ukiyo-e world of Kuniyoshi Utagawa.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In old Tokyo, known as Edo during the early modern period, fashion sheets and entertainment magazines came in the form of Ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world). There were many Ukiyo-e shops in Edo, which sold various woodblock prints, just as news agents or book shops sell magazines or posters today. Each Ukiyo-e print was sold individually to customers, who bought these beautifully printed sheets on beautiful Japanese paper to learn the most up-to-date trends of the day, and who also sometimes enjoyed them as artworks or as interior decor by displaying them on their walls. </p> <p>Following the success of Cats by Kuniyoshi and Surprise! by Kuniyoshi, this new title showcases 60 art reproductions of various animals featured in the woodblock prints of the outstanding Ukiyo-e master, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861). Sparrows, foxes, whales, goldfishes, octopus and many other animals are depicted humorously and satirically alongside human subjects.</p> <p>For added interest, each of the 60 prints can be removed easily, offering today's readers a fun and authentic way to appreciate Ukiyo-e. The simple, yet unique, design on the back side of each page offers readers even more creative ideas. (English/Japanese Bilingual text)</p>
