Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) was one of the most influential artists working in the genre of ukiyo-e, 'pictures of the floating world', in late eighteenth-century Japan, and was widely appreciated for his prints of beautiful women. In this book, Julie Nelson Davis reinterprets Utamaro in the context of his times, drawing on a wide range of period sources, and making a close study of selected print sets.
