An excellent overview of Japanese graphic art

This pleasant little book offers a wonderful overview of Japanese graphic art, consisting of works from the Bridgeman Art Library. There are approximately 80 pages with 1 or 2 prints appearing on each 2-page spread, as well as information about the artists and the historical context of each print. The prints themselves are lovely, with that tranquil quality that so much Japanese art seems to possess. This book is a pleasure to hold and look at, and the reader can choose whether to read the unobstrusive text or simply enjoy the prints alone.
