Description
Japanese woodblock prints of the Edo period were the result of a highly commercialised industry, driven by the vibrant popular culture of the time. Publishers and artists worked together to sustain demand and circumvent government censorship. This book explores how these prints were made and how they were read, using stunning photography from the British Museum collection. The prints were inspired by the popular culture of Edo, and their content reflects the ingenuity of the publishers and artists who created them. Recent scholarship has shed new light on the imagery in these prints, and this book draws on this research to provide a deeper understanding of the art form. Through its examination of the prints, this book offers a fascinating introduction to a much-loved but little-understood art form.
