Description
One of the last great names in the Japanese ukiyo-e style, Kuniyoshi was an undisputed master of the warrior woodblock print - and these 18th-century illustrations represent the pinnacle of his craft. One hundred and one full-color portraits of renowned Japanese samurais pulse with movement, passion, and remarkably fine detail. Includes brief captions and a new introduction.
Author Biography
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) developed his artistic talents by the age of 12. He created vivid illustrations of Japanese cultural icons, including magnificent prints of Kabuki actors and -- for what he is best known -- great samurai warriors.
