Traditional ukiyo-e woodblock prints, which developed for a long time without contact with Western art and became a unique phenomenon of world culture, transform everyday moments into eternal beauty and philosophical reflection.

Inside the book you'll find:

- Masterpieces by legendary artists: from Katsushika Hokusai's "Great Wave" to Utagawa Hiroshige's lyrical landscapes and Kitagawa Utamaro's portraits of refined beauties.
- A journey through eras: from the first monochrome prints of the 17th century to the virtuoso multicolor woodcuts of the late 19th century, which inspired Van Gogh and Monet.
- Philosophy in images: simple stories as reflections on the transience of life.

Exclusive edition:

- Ancient accordion binding – an original Eastern technique.
- Premium paper and high-quality printing. - Gold foil stamping is a tribute to the refined aesthetics of the Land of the Rising Sun.

"Ukiyo-e: The Art of Japanese Prints" is a work of art for true book lovers, a publication worthy of becoming the crown jewel of any library.
