Many of them originated from the workshops of the most famous artists of the Utagawa school, who were active between 1765 and 1930 and are rarely represented in European collections. They stand out due to their fine printing technique, the use of precious materials and vibrant colors, as well as their excellent state of preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003e            \u003cem\u003eImpressions of Japan \u003c\/em\u003e                    features two hundred ukiyo-e alongside several rare preparatory drawings (shita-e), which are pasted onto the block for printing and usually get destroyed during the printing process. The prints depict kabuki theater scenes, textile art, the joys and pleasures of Japanese society, famous fairy tales, and travels in and around the landscapes of Japan. Scholarly essays and an appendix offering explanations of printmaking techniques, types of paper used, and printmaking in twenty-first-century Japan supplement the images. This beautifully designed book will appeal particularly to experts and lovers of colored Japanese woodblock prints.                    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAnne Deltour\u003c\/em\u003e                 is curator of prints and drawings at Musée Jenisch Vevey in Switzerland, where                 \u003cem\u003eMargaux Honegger\u003c\/em\u003e                 also works as assistant curator.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), Englisch, 272 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63772512059741,"sku":"K098237151","price":24.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/9823715100001A.jpg?v=1773030641","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/impressions-of-japan-anne-deltour","provider":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
