Between the covers of this book a unique and exquisite art form—we call it "the Japanese print"— runs its course, from early black-and-white examples made at the beginning of the seventeenth century, to the full colored works of the mid-nineteenth century, when, the great peaks having been reached, the form degenerates into mannerism and imitation of Western art. The book breaks off at this point, after having provided us with extraordinarily beautiful reproductions of ukiyo-e hanga masterpieces.
