This series--mainly illustrating stories from history and legend, unified by the motif of the moon--is charged with paradox. In order to carry forward the tradition of \u003cem\u003eukiyo-e\u003c\/em\u003e, Yoshitoshi drew stylistic inspiration from the very forces that were rendering it obsolete--namely, Western art and mass media like photography and lithography. As if they realized they were witnessing the end of an era, the artist's public responded enthusiastically to his innovative series--many of the individual prints were sold out on the morning of their publication.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This magnificent facsimile of \u003cem\u003eOne Hundred Aspects of the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e reproduces each print at its original size, facing an explanation of the subject. A thorough introductory text, augmented with many comparative illustrations, traces Yoshitoshi's career and the genesis of this series. Printed and bound to the most exacting specifications, this volume will be a must for aficionados of Japanese prints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 15.20h x 11.10w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789213556","brand":"Abbeville Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45155962519689,"sku":"9780789213556","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bbb39b91-6efb-4911-b693-e2b0b04cce20.jpg?v=1768293323","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/yoshitoshi-one-hundred-aspects-of-the-moon-full-size-facsimile-edition-9780789213556","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
