Masterpieces of Art

by Michael Robinson

Woodblock printing is a traditional artistic medium in Japan most renowned for its use in ukiyo-e or 'floating world' prints. Both moving and mesmerising, this medium captures scenes with considerable atmosphere and vibrancy whether it be crashing waves, autumn leaves or serene waterfalls. Beginning with a fresh and thoughtful introduction to Japanese woodblock art, "Japanese Woodblocks Masterpieces of Art" goes on to showcase key works by artists such as Katsuhika Hokusai and Ando Hiroshige.
