This book is an interesting look at Japan’s tradition of woodblock printmaking by one of Japan’s most prolific woodblock print artists, Hiratsuka Un’ichi. Though most of the text is in Japanese, there are a couple of essays written in English by Oliver Statler and Tatsuo Matsuyama (former Chief Editor of Hanga Geijutsu). Also included are illustrations of rarely seen Hiratsuka prints and photos of the artist with his contemporaries.
