HIROSHIGE: THIRTY SIX VIEWS OF MOUNT FUJI (HB)

This magnificent boxed set includes a silk-bound volume of stunning, accordion-fold, colour reproductions of Hiroshige's complete series, accompanied by a separate booklet with background and descriptions of each print. These exquisite fold-out plates are perfect for appreciating Hiroshige's eye for composition, his nontraditional use of line, and the subtle gradations of colour and mood. In his introductory booklet, Jocelyn Bouquillard provides captions for each print, as well as an appreciation of the remarkable and painstaking process of woodblock printing.
