Details

In addition to being one of the leading print artists of the 20th century, Ono Tadashige was also a scholar dedicated to the study and research of Japanese prints. Ono penned dozens of books on the subject and this reference recounts the history of the Sosaku Hanga movement and illustrates the genre’s top designs as well as rarely seen masterworks. Though the book is written in Japanese, the collection of images speak for themselves and clearly demonstrate the unfolding of the movement. What is particularly noteworthy is that Ono went to great lengths to include print designs not often seen, many by artists most collectors, and even some scholars, have never come across. If you’re a fan of 20th century prints, this reference is a must have!
