When I was young I used to painstakingly collect postcards and albums with reproductions of Van Gogh's paintings, which were rare in the Soviet Union. Nowadays the Internet and big size monitors give you possibility to endlessly enjoy master's canvases, and see details you never paid attention to before.

With dozens of classic miniature Japanese woodblock prints and informative text, this Japanese art book is an essential for print collectors. Of the many genres of ukio-e, perhaps the least known is that of the diminutive surimono produced by Utamaro, Kiyonaga, Hokusai, Hiroshige, and others.

El primer título de la colección HILO de Publicaciones Malaletra nos lleva a la formulación de una estética que guarda semejanzas con el montaje escénico, dándole claridad y reunión a la secuencia de un collage interpretativo.

"Approaching the subject as an artist rather than a print scholar, Rebecca Salter focuses on the craftsmen and the complex visual culture within which they worked. Through information gained from interviews with some of the remaining practitioners and analysis of the objects themselves, she builds up a picture of the quiet role woodblock played in the lives of the Japanese as they moved from the isolation of the Edo period to embrace modernisation...
