VISIONS OF FUJI: ARTISTS FROM THE FLOATING WORLD (HB)

Mount Fuji has been a source of inspiration and awe since ancient times, and artists have been reproducing its likeness since at least the 14th century. With the relaxing of Japan's isolationist policies, artists discovered Western art and exploited its styles and perspectives, and, in turn, Western artists from Monet to van Gogh were influenced by the bold and distinctive print style. This book discusses the fascinating history of Fuji and reproduces numerous examples of the stunning and timeless artworks, some in their complete series.
