Japanese Woodcuts

Japanese Woodcuts appeal very strongly to our taste and, ever since they were discovered, have had a great influence on modern European art.
The 20 reproductions include examples of the earliest hand-coloured prints as well as works by the great masters of later ties, Utamaro, Sharaku, Hokusai, Sharaku, Hokusai, Hiroshige and others. The originals selected by Mr. Basil Gray, one of the foremost authorities on the subject, come from public as well as private collections and several of them have never been reproduced before.
