Abstract:"This book explores the role that woodblock prints played in the world of Edo-period Japan (1603-1868). 140 ukiyo-e--'pictures of the floating world'--offer us a view of the culture of entertainment, style, and glamour that developed in urban centres. Benefitting from the V&A's collection and including many rarely seen prints, this is a glimpse into a world of celebrity actors, courtesans, kimono retailers, fabric workshops, makeup brands, theatre managers, brothel keepers, and restaurant owners."
