Featuring hundreds of illustrations; Japanese Prints: From Early Masters to the Modern is a comprehensive history and survey of Japanrsquo;s most famous visual art form.The author; Mr. Michener has illustrated the book with lesser-known masterpieces rather than with those few prints that have been reproduced almost ad nauseam. Unlike earlier books; this does not stop with the past century; but brings the subject completely up to date; introducing; in the modern Japanese print; some of the most exciting art being created in Japan—and in the world—today.Japanese Prints also becomes a revealing account of the collecting of Japanese prints; with many valuable hints to collectors based upon the authors own experiences in gathering together one of the best print collections of recent years: it is a collecting field in which many hints are needed; with prices varying from $5 to $5;000 per print; and with forgeries and doubtful attributions on every hand.
