Marvin Cohodas
Publication Details
Book, University of Arizona Press, 1997

The Prints Of Isoda Kory¯usai : Floating World Culture And Its Consumers In Eighteenth-century Japan

Attribution
Allen Hockley
Publication Details
Book, University of Washington Press, 2003
Description
The ukiyo-e artist Isoda Koryusai produced thousands of designs between 1769 and 1781, a crucial period in the evolution of the print tradition, and was honored with the imperial title of hokkyu, yet he has been long neglected by scholars. Allen Hockley has identified more than 2,500 designs of wide-ranging formats and themes, demonstrating that Koryusai broadened the treatment of traditional print subjects and appealed to a wider and more varied audience.
