Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798 1861) is considered one of the greatest Japanese print artists. Alongside such illustrious names as Hokusai and Hiroshige, he dominated the nineteenth-century production of the popular genre of woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e, literally,  pictures of the floating world . This beautiful book presents a selection of Kuniyoshi s finest prints in exquisite reproductions. A leading authority on Japanese art, Timothy Clark explores the impressive range of Kuniyoshi s subject-matter, from his portraits of Japanese warrior heroes and fashionable beauties, to his satirical themes and innovative landscape prints. Examples of Kuniyoshi s original drawings highlight his unique approach to composition and provide a valuable insight into the creative process of this prolific and multi-talented artist.
