Imagine the life of Edo, an old name of
Tokyo, in the early modern period ¿ there
were many ¿Ukiyo-e¿ shops which were
dealing with various woodblock prints
just like fashion snaps or entertaining
magazines as we know them today. Each
Ukiyo-e work was sold individually and
people bought the beautifully printed
sheets of paper to learn the up-to-date
trend of the day and/or to enjoy the artworks
by displaying them on the wall as
interior decor.
This art book features cats humorously
and satirically depicted by UTAGAWA
Kuniyoshi (1792-1892), an outstanding
Ukiyo-e great master. 60 reproductive
artworks can be removed easily, so that
the title can provide the authentic fun of
Ukiyo-e to the people today along with a
handful creative ideas owing to the plain
design on the back side.
This is a must for Japanese art lovers,
cat lovers as well as those who seek new
impression of art.
