A landmark work in the study of Japanese woodblock art, Masters of the Japanese Print presents an authoritative and richly illustrated survey of one of the world's most celebrated artistic traditions. Richard Lane chronicles the development of the ukiyo-e genre — the pictures of the floating world — from its origins in the seventeenth century through to its golden age, illuminating the lives and techniques of the master printmakers who defined it. With 90 plates, 50 in colour and 50 in black and white, the volume details the works of iconic artists such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Utamaro, situating each within their cultural and historical context. Lane writes with scholarly precision yet accessible clarity, making this an indispensable reference for collectors, historians, and admirers of Japanese art alike.
