We discover the four pillars of the woodblock print--beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions--alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans--rock stars who populated the \"floating world\" and whose fan bases fueled the frenzied production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrifying and the obscure in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living--stunning images that continue to influence Japanese manga, film, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to erotica, the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and infallible eye of their creators and how, with tremendous ingenuity and tongue-in-cheek wit, publishers and artists alike fought to circumvent government censorship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis two-volume edition in a box, crafted with traditional Japanese binding, presents reproductions of the finest extant impressions from the vaults of museums and private collections across the globe.

The first volume is dedicated to Kenzo, a French luxury fashion house founded in 1970 by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada. His signature designs are bedecked in stripes, checks, prints and especially florals, and it is little surprise that the brand's perfumes draw heavily from the latter. From the iconic Flower to the daring Kenzo World, the world of Kenzo is a universe that smells beautiful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e206 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.25 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9.6 x 0.9 x 12.6 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DISTRIBUTED ART PUBLISHER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48795417280768,"sku":"111592","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0188\/3776\/files\/51nmIBycSzL._SL1000_copy.png?v=1782432087"},{"product_id":"art-craft-color-brighten-your-111840","title":"Art, Craft, Color","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"m5vfdd-ilybn5-sscbuy-wn6qal\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\"\u003eArt, Craft, Color: Brighten Your Life with Projects in Every Color of the Rainbow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eA rainbow of creativity: 20 vibrant craft projects across every color of the spectrum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurated by celebrated artist Lisa Solomon, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eArt, Craft, Color\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebridges the worlds of art and practical making through 20 stunning, doable projects organized by color ― from delicate pink paper flowers to bold red textile creations and zesty orange culinary delights.
