Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) was one of the most
influential artists working in the genre of ukiyo-e, `pictures of
the floating world', in late eighteenth-century Japan, and was
widely appreciated for his prints of beautiful women. In this book,
Julie Nelson Davis draws on a wide range of period sources, makes a
close study of selected print sets and reinterprets Utamaro in the
context of his times. Offering a new approach to issues of the
status of the artist and the construction of gender, identity,
sexuality and celebrity in the Edo period, and now in an updated
edition containing a new preface and many new images, this book is
a significant contribution to the field, and will be a key work for
readers interested in Japanese arts and cultures.
