The history of this inventive genre is traced in a well-conceived and thorough catalog of 219 examples, arranged chronologically into six sections, and selected according to broad themes. The prints appear in full-page color plates of superb quality in an oversize format (10x12"). The entry accompanying each plate describes the scene, giving the story it depicts, details about the print's creator, and, frequently, the connections with theatre of the scene's depiction or costumes. Many of the prints include poems, which are given in the entries in English and the Japanese original. An introduction describes the history of the genre. This volume is a model of excellent book design and production. Hotei is an imprint of Brill. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
