Samurai Ghost And Monster Wars: Supernatural Art by Kuniyoshi (Ukiyo-e Master Series)

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) is regarded as one of the true masters of ukiyo-e, the art of Edo-period Japan. Kuniyoshi produced thousands of prints and designs during his lifetime, but is perhaps best-known for his musha-e ("warrior prints"), with which he came to prominence in 1830. Kuniyoshi's series 108 Heroes Of The Suikoden from that year was revolutionary in its dynamics, colour and visual violence, epitomising the delirious, almost proto-psychedelic style with with the artist would recreate archetypal figures â€• both human and demonic â€• from Japanese myth over the ensuing decades.

SAMURAI GHOST AND MONSTER WARS collects and considers 100 of Kuniyoshi's most vivid and complex images of warriors, spectres, demons and monstrous beasts, presented in large-format and full-colour throughout.

NEWÃ¢â‚¬Ë†REVISEDÃ¢â‚¬Ë†ANDÃ¢â‚¬Ë†UPGRADEDÃ¢â‚¬Ë†EDITION: Many new pictures, improved picture quality throughout, high-gauge paper stock.
