Details

This is a beautifully executed hardcover catalogue of the work of Ishii Tsuruzo. Ishii was part of the first wave of Sosaku Hanga artists that contended all print artists should self-carve and self-print their own work. The book contains more than one hundred full-page color illustrations, many of which are tipped onto the book’s pages. The reference also contains images of Ishii’s self-directed book design projects and has images of the original wood blocks used for his print designs.
