Video Discription |
It is no secret that I am a huge fan of many of the aesthetics and art that have originated in Asia. Woodcut prints and Japanese painting are very beautiful to me, and an inspiration to the art I make and many of the artists I love. Even my irezumi tattoo owes its style to the rich history of Japanese painting and woodblock prints (ukiyoe). This book provides a large sample of that world of art, I hope you enjoy!

"With ukiyo-e, or pictures of the floating world, Japan left a masterly and unique mark on the world of graphic art. These woodcuts bear a singularly vivid witness to Japanese everyday life between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. In this book, lavishly illustrated with 377 color plates, authors Roni Neuer and Herbert Libertson take us through these centuries, tracing the development of the unparalleled technical and artistic achievement of ukiyo-e. A biographical background of Susugu Yoshida for the main exponents of the ukiyo-e genre - among them Moronobu, Harunobu, Shunsho and Utamaro - introduces each new section of prints. Color printing was introduced to Japan via China. The ukiyo-e prints were originally expanded and perfected to incorporate colors, with the creation of nishiki-e (brocade prints). Woodcut prints were used to illustrate works of literature, then as their popularity increased, their themes and subjects multiplied to include portraits of beautiful women, wrestlers and famous actors of the Kabuki theater signposts and playbills. Celebrated courtesans were also immortalized by ukiyo-e artists, and provided Japanese women with an ideal of beauty they could emulate. Erotic ukiyo-e were enormously popular. When their display in shop windows was banned in the early eighteenth century, the artists were forced to create them in secret, which only served to make their composition more alluring and elaborate. A strong element of eroticism underlines many of the works, whether directly - as in the portraits of courtesans of the scenes from the famous pleasure quarters of Yoshiwara - or indirectly, in the pictures of ordinary women in everyday situations. Romanticism and sensuality go hand in hand in the ukiyo-e world. Many of the prints evoke a delicate, whimsical world of blossom and poetry, but one where the feminine ideal of beauty is nevertheless enshrined in its full erotic glory. -- from dust jacket."
