inside cover foreword: "These woodcuts bear a singularly vivid witness to Japanese everyday life between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. In this book, lavishly illustrated with 377 color plates, authors, Roni Neuer and Hebert Libertson take us through these centuries, tracing the development of the unparalleled technical and artistic achievement of ukiyo-e. A biographical background by Susugu Yoshida for the main exponents of the ukiyo-e genre- among them Moronobu, Harunobu, Shunsho and Utamaro- introduces each new section of prints."
