Fujiyama. Masterpieces of Japanese Poetry and Painting of the 11th-17th Centuries. Volume II

The four-volume collection contains almost 600 poetic works by 140 famous Japanese poets of the 4th-20th centuries. They are illustrated with ukiyo-e prints created by Japanese artists mainly during the Edo period (1603-1868) and later. This combination of masterpieces of Japanese classical poetry with the best examples of the national type of painting, which is the ukiyo-e genre (literally: “pictures of the perishable world”), has ancient roots in Japanese culture. However, it rarely occurs in Ukrainian cultural tradition, which makes this collection a unique phenomenon of modern domestic book publishing.
