一般注記Published on the occasion of the exhibition "The riddles of ukiyo-e : women and men in Japanese prints 1765-1865" at Japan Museum SieboldHuis, Leiden, The Netherlands, 27 January - 23 April 2023
資料の内容に関する注記Drawing on images of women and men from the heyday of Japanese printmaking, this book explores the subtle iconography and complex symbols inherent in the tradition of ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodblock printing meaning 'Fleeting World'). The intriguing elements refer to Japanese history, literature, mythology, fashion, folklore and gossip of the Edo period and are at times difficult to discern, let alone grasp, without proper knowledge. Divided into classic printmaking themes such as beautiful women, heroes, actors and shunga (erotic prints), this lavishly illustrated book provides readers with the keys to understanding the hidden meanings in more than 100 top Japanese prints. -- From publisher's website
