Understand and communicate through ukiyo-e! Perfect for introducing Japan

Volume 10 of the series, popular for its usefulness for tourism, traditional culture information, and English learning. A must-have book that condenses everything about clothing, food, shelter, and play in the Edo period, drawn by Kitagawa Utamaro, Katsushika Hokusai, Toshusai Sharaku, and Utagawa Hiroshige. A Japanese-English visual guide that is perfect for introducing Japanese culture to foreigners, including the basic knowledge of ukiyo-e, the lifestyle habits of the time, and tourist attractions that still exist today, while viewing approximately 50 masterpieces. The easy-to-understand narration is perfect for beginners of Japanese painting and beginners of English learning. Mt. Fuji, Arashiyama, sushi, tempura, Kabuki actors, Yoshiwara courtesan... this is Japan! I'm happy to have a small version that makes a perfect souvenir. At the end of the book, there is also a glossary, explanations of ukiyo-e artists, and a guide to museums.

[Recommended information from the editor]
Ukiyo-e has been loved by foreigners, including the world's great masters of beauty such as Van Gogh. Although there are many books ranging from introductory books to specialized books, there is no one that is perfect for introducing Japanese culture and customs to foreigners. The bustle of Nihonbashi's Uogashi, the glamorous appearance of Yoshiwara's courtesans. This is an ukiyo-e guide in both Japanese and English that anyone can enjoy as they travel back in time to the Edo period.
