Fifty charming pencil, ink, and watercolor drawings by a nineteenth-century master depict diverse but complementary aspects of Japanese art and imagination. Drawn from two rarely circulated, seldom-seen sketchbooks, these images include scenes from everyday life, rendered with expressive elegance, and episodes from classic folktales, portrayed with warm realism. Best known for his woodblock prints, Hiroshige (1797–1858) recaptured the magic of the Japanese landscape in the course of his travels throughout the country. These sketchbooks date from around 1840, when the artist was at the height of his talent and popularity. Their unique and intimate glimpses of Japan before it opened to the West—of courtesans in traditional costumes, peasants at work, serene landscapes, animals, and episodes from Kabuki drama—offer delightful souvenirs of the late Edo period and form an engaging, accessible introduction to the complex traditions of Japanese art.

A land of contrasts, Japan surprises and fascinates the visitor. For Cloé Fontaine, the teeming city of Tokyo is a haven of peace: in the midst of noise and crowds she finds silence and serenity. With her brush and pen in hand, Cloé journeys from the streets of Tokyo to the shrines of Kyoto and the rolling hills on the island of Shikoku. Temples and tatamis, parasols and teapots, fountains and waterlilies - every striking detail comes to life on these pages. From Zen temples to modernist architecture, and from traditional geishas in elaborate kimonos to teenagers in eccentric and brightly-colored outfits, this is a personal and engaging encounter with a culture and its people. In her charming watercolors, modern collages, personal stories and selection of traditional hikus Cloé captures and relects the many juxtapositions of East and West, old and new.--Cover.

A pocket at the back for scraps and receipts, two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list, and a magnetic side flap helps keep everything neat and tidy. THE ARTIST. Born in Kent, William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
