Presenting classic Japanese woodblock prints, Japan Journeys offers a
unique perspective on the country's most famous travel destinations.
Art historian Andreas Marks has gathered together approximately two hundred
Japanese woodblock prints depicting scenic spots and cultural icons that
still delight visitors today. Many of the prints are by masters such as
Utagawa Hiroshige, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Utagawa Kunisada, and currently
hang in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide. Katsuhika Hokusai,
the artform's most celebrated artist, is also well represented, with many
prints from his "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road" series
and "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series, including his world-renowned
"Great Wave" print.
In addition to prints showcasing Japan's natural beauty, Marks' carefully
curated selection depicts roads and railways; favorite pastimes, such
as blossom viewing and attending festivals; beloved entertainment, such
as kabuki theater; the fashions they wore, and the food they ate. Marks
is a leading expert on Japanese woodblock prints, and his Illuminating
captions provide background context to the scenes depicted.
Images of Japan are a continual source of fascination and delight for
visitors and armchair travelers alike, and this original gift book also
provides a valuable resource for art historians, scholars, and anyone
interested in Japanese art, history, and traditional culture.

Journeys at Amazon.com.
