Japanese ukiye-e prints are one of that country's most recognizable traditional arts. This book collects biographies and prints of the most famous ukiye-e artists. The engravings in this book cover the period from the 1660s, when the genre first came into being, to the dying days of ukiye-e at the end of the 19th century. Thanks to this book, the reader can get a rather detailed idea not only about the artists themselves, but also about the evolution of the genre as a whole. The book can be considered an encyclopedia on Japanese artists of the XVII-XIX centuries. In Russia, similar books-encyclopedias have not been published. Artists about whom the book tells and whose works are presented in our edition: Kambun Period Master, Hishikawa Moronobu, Okumura Masanobu, Kaigetsudo School, Torii Kienobu I and Torii Kienobu II, Torii Kiyemasu I and Torii Kiyemasu II, Nishimura Shigenaga, Ishikawa Toenobu, Suzuki Harunobu, Katsukawa Shunse, Ippitsusai Bunte, Tosusai Sharaku, Katsukawa Shun'ei, Torii Kienaga, Kitagawa Utamaro, Utagawa Toeharu, Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Toekuni I, Utagawa Kunisada (Toekuni III), Keisai Eisen, Utagawa Hiroshige, Utagawa Kunieshi, Utagawa Eshitora, Kawanabe Kesai, Toehara Kunichika, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Kobayashi Kietika.
