Since the 18th century, woodblock prints (woodblock prints) have appeared in Japanese art. The subjects that inspired the artists who created in this direction were called ukiyo-e - images of the changing world.In ukiyo-e Japanese art achieved amazing technical perfection, expressiveness and elegance. This is an open window to the distant world, drawn in a refined coloristic range, with a fantastic variety of details, under which lie a wicked mockery, or subtle humor. These include the sensual women of Utamaro, the mesmerizing landscapes of Hokusai, the enchanting vistas of Hiroshige, and many more enchanting pictures of a changing world painted by other, lesser-known Japanese masters. This book offers a different way of looking at a world inhabited by a whole gallery of characters: graceful priestesses of love, elegant artists of the Kabuki theater, cruel villains, cunning, brave and tough warriors, noble heroes and ordinary people, whose lives are set against the backdrop of lyrical landscapes. This book traces the 250-year history of Japanese graphic art, from the 17th to the early 20th century. A fascinating historical sketch describes the sophisticated world of the Land of the Rising Sun. The book contains information on famous and lesser-known artists, and tells the story of the birth, development, and a kind of Renaissance of Japanese graphic art in the 20th century.
