Reseña del libro "Made in Japan: Farbholzschnitte Von Hiroshige, Kunisada Und Hokusai (en Alemán)"
Around 100 of the most beautiful prints from the heyday of Japanese woodblock printing are shown in this first publication featuring a previously little-known treasure, a highlight of the Kupferstichkabinett collection at Kunstmuseum Basel. These are iconic works by artists such as Hiroshige and Hokusai, whose impressions of both city and countryside shape our idea of Japan. In the richly illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition, they can be found alongside colourful works by once equally famous artists such as Utamaro, Sharaku, Kunisada and Kuniyoshi. These are based around the world of Kabuki theatre and actors, everyday and heroic stories, or ideally beautiful female figures and provide some striking finds of rare works that will surprise not only interested Japanese woodblock print enthusiasts but also the experts.
