About this product

Product Information

From Mount Fuji to the temples of Kyoto, Japan Journeys offers a unique perspective on the country's most famous travel destinations. Art historian Andreas Marks has gathered together approximately two hundred Japanese woodblock prints depicting scenic spots and cultural icons that still delight visitors today. Many of the prints are by masters such as Utagawa Hiroshige, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Utagawa Kunisada, and currently hang in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide. Katsuhika Hokusai, the artform's most celebrated artist, is also well represented, with many prints from his Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road series and Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, including his world-renowned Great Wave print. In addition to prints showcasing Japan's natural beauty, Marks' carefully curated selection depicts roads and railways; favourite pastimes, such as blossom viewing and attending festivals; beloved entertainment, such as kabuki theatre; the fashions they wore, and the food they ate.
