This beautifully illustrated survey examines the art and artists
of the Edo period, one of the great epochs in Japanese art.
Together with the imperial city of Kyoto and the port cities of
Osaka and Nagasaki, the splendid capital city of Edo (now Tokyo)
nurtured a magnificent tradition of painting, calligraphy,
printmaking, ceramics, architecture, textile work, and lacquer. As
each city created its own distinctive social, political, and
economic environment, its art acquired a unique flavor and
aesthetic. Author Christine Guth focuses on the urban aspects of
Edo art, including discussions of many of Japan's most popular
artists--Korin, Utamaro, and Hiroshige, among others--as well as
those that are lesser known, and provides a fascinating look at the
cities in which they worked.
