Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The scope ranges widely over time and place, from the "Upanishads" of ancient India to the words and images of Japan's ukiyo-e - the "floating world." The introductions, providing invaluable background on history, belief, and interpretation, are provided by thinkers, writers, and artists who are renowned for communicating accessibly and imaginatively. The translations used are in a thoroughly readable modern idiom. Accompanying images are chosen for their evocative appropriateness. The stories in "Tales From the Tao" introduce traditional Taoist principles and ideas about many of the most basic human experiences - birth, death, loss, gain, dignity in the face of challenge, how to judge character, when to move forward, when to retreat, how to deal with fame, and how to surrender to the most fundamental experience of the Tao itself. The insights and ideas that the stories present to us can be of great assistance in today's often stressful and confusing world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Edo Japan, woodblock prints known asukiyo-e(pictures of the Floating World) captured the entertainment culture of the urban elite and eventually many other subjects as well. These beautiful prints were the result of a meticulous craft process, in which an artists initial drawing was translated by expert carvers into multiple printing blocks for different colours. In this attractive volume, Sarah E. Thompson, curator of Japanese art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, provides a highly readable overview of the cultural and artistic history of ukiyo-e, showcasing 120 exceptional prints from the museums world-class collection, by masters including Utamaro, Hokusai, and Hiroshige. She explores each of the principal genres in turn: beauty and fashion, the kabuki theatre, landscape, nature, history and literature, and fantasy. Pictures of the Floating World features a traditional Japanese stab binding and is housed in a durable slipcase together with three remarkable prints, suitable for framing. It will be a must-have for all art lovers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good copy. 1st edition. 'Vintage International'. Design: Mare J. Cohen. Kazuo Ishiguro, born 8 November 1954 is a Japanese-born British novelist. The novel's title is based on the literal translation of Ukiyo-e, a word referring to the Japanese art of prints. Therefore, it can be read as 'a printmaker' or 'an artist living in a changing world', given both Ono's limited understanding and the dramatic changes his world, Japan in the first half of the twentieth century, has undergone in his lifetime. The novel was shortlisted for the 1986 Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award for the same year. 206 pag. Size: 20cmx13cm.

Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 95 p.: Ill. Die Broschur ist minimal berieben. Sonst aber ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ The brochure is minimally rubbed. Otherwise, however, a good and clean copy. - This is the first series of books to gather together the full panorama of ukiyo-e"pictures of the floating world" from its inception in early genre paintings to the versatile genius of such masters as Hiroshige. Each book examines a specific master, style or medium and has sixty-four pages of full-color reproductions, many available outside Japan for the first time. Masterworks of Ukiyo-e will provide collectors and scholars with excellent quick reference sources, and readers with no previous knowledge ofjapanese art with an unusually fine and specific introduction to its appreciationat a remarkably low price. The Decadents: Kunisada Kuniyoshi Eisen: The little-known ukiyo-e of the last years of the Edo period show a striking change in style when compared with earlier worKs.This new style (iki) consisted in an elaboration of detail, use of brighter colors, a distortion in the body form of the women of the hijin-ga, and a general trend toward realism and heaviness of atmosphere. Just before the Meiji Restoration, the culture of Edo was in a state of general decline and decadence. The Fokugawa shogunate tried desperately to reassert its authority through a series of restrictive measures, the Tempo Reforms, but to no avail. The ukiyo-e, which frequently portrayed beautiful courtesans and kabuki actors, also came under sharp attack, and feeble attempts were made to change bijin-ga into didactic works. But this, too, failed, and the bijin-ga soon became even more sumptuous and suggestive. The early idealized, graceful beauty was replaced by a contorted, sensual coquette, the last beauty of the ukiyo-e before its demise in the Meiji Restoration. Kunisada, Kuniyoshi and Eisen are all representatives of the iki of late Edo, and all the technical virtuosity and stylization of the age are apparent in their works. But the authors present each of these artists as individuals with personalized styles of their own, and delightful eccentricities. This volume offers a full selection of their works in sixty-five pages of color plates extending not only to bijin-ga, but to landscapes and animal and fish pictures as well. The text will also provide a new appreciation of the relationship between social conditions, production techniques, and the artistic taste of the little- known decadent period. Juzo Suzuki received his B.A. from the University of Tokyo in 1941, and is presently the director of the Social Sciences Department of the National Diet Library in Tokyo. He has published six previous books on Japanese prints including Sharaku for Kodansha International. Isaburo Oka graduated from the Literature Department of Tokyo University in 1941 in aesthetics and art history. He is currently chief of the Second Research Room, Art Department, Tokyo National Cultural Properties Research Institute. He has previously published works on Hirosliige and late ukiyo-e. John Bester graduated from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and has been in Japan since 1953. teaching, writing, and translating.

The text ist written partly in japanese and partly in english. - ABOUT A CENTURY has elapsed since ukiyo-e emigrated from Japan and has become a matter of interest to the world at large. During this period many ukiyo-e prints have been sent abroad, where they have been highly appreciated and have had a remarkable influence upon some of the Western art. Many books both at home and abroad, beginning with Edmond de Goncourt's Outamaro (Paris, 1891) and Kyoshin Ijima's Katsushika Hokusai Den (Tokyo, 1893), have been published about ukiyo-e: to the end that ukiyo-e has become firmly set in the vision of world art. The time seems ripe now for scholars and collectors to come together and arrive at some conclusions about the fundamental research which has been made during the past century. One of the purposes of the Japan Ukiyo-e Society is to bring together Japanese and Western scholars and facilitate the exchange of information and views between them. Upon the occasion of the society's first major exhibition of ukiyo-e masterpieces, I would like to offer some opinions and tentative conclusions in regard to the history and essence of ukiyo-e. The origin and precise meaning of the word ukiyo-e have been the subject of much research and controversy, which is probably, in the final analysis, of rather small interest and importance. The word first appeared in a literary work published in 1681, and at that time there was a definite connotation that linked the word with the gay quarter at Yoshiwara. Some critics have held that ukiyo-e, in an exact sense, must be confined within the limits of the original definition. But most of us are willing to give it a wider meaning, and it may be noted that the ukiyo-e prototypes now being discovered and studied were not so limited in subject-matter and would come within the purview of a wider definition. An admirable median definition has been given by Sir George Sansom in his Japan: A Short Cultural History (New York, rev. ed., 1943, p. 474), as follows: The culture of the townspeople was essentially the culture of a prosperous bourgeoisie devoted to amusement. Their arts centred round what was called in the current language of the day Ukiyo or the 'Floating World.' This is the world of fugitive pleasures, of theatres and restaurants, wrestling-booths and houses of assignation, with their permanent population of actors, dancers, singers, story-tellers, jesters, courtesans, bath-girls and itinerant purveyors, among whom mingled the profligate sons of rich merchants, dissolute samurai and naughty apprentices. It is chiefly the life of these gay quarters and their denizens which is depicted in popular novels and paintings of the day, the ukiyo-soshi and the ukiyo-e, the sketch-books and the pictures of the floating world. Some sketchy outlines for a history of ukiyo-e were provided by Ota Nampo and other writers in the Ukiyo-e Ruiko, starting around 1800, but these efforts were rather desultory and were not guided by any real historical sense. Ukiyo-e scholarship in Japan cannot be said to have started until the Meiji era. For a long time this scholarship has been plagued by fables and old wives' tales. Within living memory some scholars have believed that Matabei was the founder of ukiyo-e. Others have held that the Otsu-e folk paintings were direct forerunners of the ukiyo-e prints. And there are still many who believe that ukiyo-e appeared suddenly and miraculously in the 17th century, without any apparent antecedent or origin, in the person of Hishikawa Moronobu. Certain investigations are now being centered on the genre art which preceded ukiyo-e, and we are beginning to see that ukiyo-e, instead of being a neatly defined body of art extending from such-and-such a date to such-and-such a date, comprising certain works by certain artistsis, in fact, but one aspect of a much broader concept of Japanese plebian art. Probably not until we have devoted much more study to the larger concept of plebian art can we arrive at a better understanding of ukiyo-e itself. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

FIRST EDITION . *** **** *** . . AN EXCELLENT MONOGRAPH ON THE GREAT MASTER . . . COLOR WOODBLOCK PRINT, BOOK & SERIES ARTIST . . . UTAGAWA [ANDO] HIROSHIGE I . * ARTIST HIROSHIGE [1797-1858] . Hiroshige was a Japanese Ukiyo-e [color woodblock prints of the "Floating World"] artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido & other Highway Series and for his vertical format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. He also produced a large number of series, single prints, E-hon and a wide variety of color woodblock printed examples. . He was a master of composition and design. . The subjects of his work were atypical of the Ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the Yoshiwara [prostitution districts], but hid he had some examples of women of all varieties depicted in the Edo period [1603-1868]. . The popular series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Hokusai was a strong influence on Hiroshige's choice of subject, though Hiroshige's approach was more poetic and ambient than Hokusai's bolder, more formal prints. Subtle use of color was essential in Hiroshige's prints, often printed with multiple impressions in the same area and with extensive use of "Bokashi" [color gradation], both of which were rather labor-intensive techniques. . This excellent work is devoted strictly to Hiroshige's production, including various Highway Series, guide series, and all genres reflecting Edo life, times, culture, fashion, famous female beauties: Geisha & prostitutes, theater actors, flora, fauna, E-hon [woodblock-illustrated books] and the whole gambit of his superb artistic woodblock examples. . *** ILLUSTRATIONS: The book has a color woodblock printed frontispiece by the author. A single "Red Fuji" color plate, 37 black & white colographic reproductions. . *** A FAMOUS PERSON & AUTHOR: KOJIMA Usui [1873-1948]: . Kojima was an eminent Japanese who authored over 20 books. He amassed a superb collection of over 900 Ukiyo-e woodblock prints and was an authority on Hiroshige and other Ukiyo-e artists. . He established Japan's first mountaineering and alpine society in 1905, appropriately named "The Japanese Alpine Club" [JAC]. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . *** CONDITION: This work is bound in the original publisher's color woodblock-printed paper covered boards. With two color woodblock-printed end papers. There is some of the usual rubbing to the edges, corners & hinged areas, with minor loss. The book is firm and solid. The contents are bright and clean, without any issues. . By and large an excellent example of a RARE title. . *** Please visit our website where we have posted photographs of this item. You can also find many other items by and about Hiroshige. . *** REFERENCE: . See wikipedia for Usui_Kojima and also Japanese_Alpine_Club for more information . *.
