Description

Yoshitoshi was one of the most influential and prolific woodblock print artists of Meiji Japan. This book presents his masterpiece, "Tsuki hyakushi" ("One Hundred Aspects of the Moon"). The series was begun in 1885 and completed just before the artist's death in 1892. It was wildly popular even as it was being produced. New designs were eagerly awaited, with editions selling out before dawn on the day of publication. Each one of the 100 images in the series is shown in full colour and nearly life size. Opposite each design a commentary gives the story behind the picture. These wonderful tales form a panorama of Japanese history and legend that resonates with the richness and subtlety of traditional Japanese culture.

Author Biography:

John Stevenson holds a degree in Modern History from Oxford University. He has written books and articles on different areas of Asian art, including Japanese woodblock prints and early Vietnamese ceramics.
