This is a collection of Ukiyo-e beauty prints published in 1965 (Showa 40). Ukiyo-e were genre paintings popular among the common people from the Edo to the Meiji periods. Beauty prints from the Edo period often depicted women with narrow eyes, small mouths, and long, flat faces. This was not a faithful depiction of actual facial features, but a stylized expression that conformed to "the aesthetic sense of the time." This collection features 98 works by Suzuki Harunobu, allowing you to experience the beauty of traditional Japan. As this is an old book, there is deterioration such as sun damage and stains due to aging, but this also adds to the depth of flavor that tells a story of history. We recommend this book as a way to enjoy the atmosphere of Japan. #SuzukiHarunobu #Harunobu #Ukiyo-e
