UTAMARO - PORTRAITS IN THE JAPANESE WOODCUT
Book Description
                        The attractiveness of this volume, apart from its subject material, is its 'arty' format. Considerable effort has been made by the publishers to produce a different kind of book that is a visually-pleasing item in its own right. It has numerous illustrations that are sympathetic to the the colours of the artist's originals & the text gives a detailed introduction to Utamaro's life & work.
