Japonesthetique

Japonesthetique : the perfect fusion of Takato Yamamoto's unique Japonism and superb aestheticism. This brand new anthology is dedicated to two big modern Japanese artists who later influenced Yamamoto's art style: blood-red fanatic ukiyo-e master, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839_1892) and brilliant illustrator of novels for boys and girls, Ito Hikozo (1904~2004) . All illustrations included in this monograph embody the depth of Japanese culture - from novels, plays, and movies there are exquisite ghosts, brave samurai, gorgeous oiran, erotic shunga, etc. - none ever published in his monographs before.
