Art & Architecture; Prints & printmaking

This visually captivating volume explores the vibrant world of post-World War II Japanese printmaking, a movement that blended meticulous craftsmanship with groundbreaking innovation to transform the medium.

Written by a leading authority on 20th-century Japanese printmaking, it pulses with the same vitality and ingenuity as the works it celebrates.

Showcasing over 100 stunning full-page reproductions, the book reveals the wide-ranging styles that defined this era of artistic reinvention.

From the striking works of Saito¯ Kiyoshi that blend traditional technique with modern influences and the bold monochromatic works of Munakata Shiko¯ to the refined calligraphic abstractions of Shinoda To¯ko¯ and the colorful psychedelic works of Ay-O, the collection celebrates the vision of printmakers who challenged conventions and reinterpreted tradition.

In addition to well-known masters, lesser-recognized artists are featured with thoughtful descriptions that shine a light on their contributions. In-depth profiles of select living creators, informed by exclusive conversations with the author, provide a personal look at their creative journeys and ongoing influence.

Designed to complement the striking aesthetic of the prints themselves, this book is both a visual feast and an engaging exploration of Japanese printmaking's evolution during a period of profound artistic change.
