BOOKS & CATALOGS:

Woodblock kuchi-e prints
By Helen Merritt and Nanako Yamada. ISBN 0-8248-2073-8 Published by University of Hawaii Press
It deals with Meiji (and later) book frontispieces known as kuchi-e. They are the forerunner of shin hanga and contain a few well known artists and lots more not so well known complete with seals and signatures. One well known artist is Kaburagi Kiyokata who was the mentor of Hasui, Shinsui, Shiro and others. A well done book. Highly recommended. Cost is around $50.00 US. |
