Details

Before the release of the Hotei published Hasui catalog raisonné, this book was the sole and definite reference on the artist. Although the Hotei book is more comprehensive (but by no means complete), this reference represents the best "artbook" available on the artist. With its monumental size, the reference illustrates dozens of important prints in true life-size. The quality of the paper and the manner of reproduction reproduced are superb, making this book a suitable alternative to owning the prints themselves.

This monumental and exhaustive reference includes a section comprised of 567 finely produced color illustrations of the artist's work, followed by an essay that explores Hasui's artistry and place in history. The beauty and quality of this book cannot be overstated. This reference makes a fantastic supplemental companion to the Hotei catalogue or simply an ideal standalone reference for this master of 20th-century woodblock prints.
