1. Im really happy with this book for personal interest. But I had shown picture to my students-40~50age old wemen do flower art-, then they toke a deep sigh. This book is really good for everyone who interest in flowers, trees, art and design.



2. what a gloriously handsome book. the book shares its name with an eponymous show during the summer of 1997. i was in charleston and able to see this great, spread out exhibit. i was unsure how the book could capture the beauty of this show and was very surprised to see that the book enhanced my memories of the show. this book will make a great addition to the library or coffee table of anyone interested in contemporary art of the world. curator and author beardsley selected a diverse group of artists from all parts of the globe, and includes ironwork, site specific installations, video, and beautiful sculpture and painting. i was fortunate to have seen this exhibit, but if you missed this fabulous exhibit, get your hands on this book. i have bought several copies of this book and given them as gifts to family and friends.

1 comments about Hiroshige in Tokyo: The Floating World of Edo (Painters and Places Series).

1. 
   
   Nature was the primary subject of renowned Japanese printmaker Hiroshige (1797 - 1858). He painted birds, flowers, and legendary scenes, as well as contributing to the Ukiyo-e prints, which depicted scenes in the world of fashion and entertainment.
   
   Hiroshige in Tokyo details the background of woodblock printing which was introduced in Japan in the eighth century. At that time, its chief use was the production of inexpensive religious charms. Gradually the art of block printing grew into the masterpiece represented in this lovely volume.
   
   The author concentrates on two of Hiroshige's series of prints: "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" and "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." These scenes, which are identified according to actual location, sometimes represent the Japanese view of nature. It was seen in its sheer simplicity as a means for an interpretation of reality.
   
   The scenes beautifully capture Tokyo during the Edo period, reflecting the seasonal changes in the countryside as well as the daily lives of Tokyo's citizens.
   
   With over 100 paintings, photographs and artifacts, Hiroshige in Tokyo is an important addition to the archives of Japanese printmaking.
