Japanese woodblock prints captivated some of Europe’s greatest artists, from Van Gogh and Manet to the pioneers of modernism. Far more than an exotic influence, these remarkable works represent a unique artistic tradition with no true Western equivalent.

This beautifully illustrated volume explores the history of Japanese woodblock printing, from the rise of ukiyo-e (“pictures of the floating world”) in the 17th century to its revival in the early 20th century. Featuring masterpieces by Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro, and other celebrated artists, it reveals the cultural, social, and artistic world behind these iconic images.

From landscapes and bird-and-flower compositions to kabuki actors, courtesans, samurai, folklore, and mythology, the collection offers a fascinating insight into Japan’s artistic heritage and its lasting influence on global art, manga, film, and design.

Published as part of TASCHEN’s 40th Anniversary Series, this accessible edition brings together exceptional prints from museums and private collections worldwide, accompanied by expert commentary and historical context.

What’s in the box?

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
