Contemporary Japan is a society overflowing with energy, and nowhere is this better reflected than in the world of printmaking, where the strong traditions of Japan's great artistic past confront the dynamic forces of the international scene. The 80 prints reproduced in full colour in this book present an exciting cross-section of the best in modern Japanese graphics. They are introduced by Lawrence Smith, Keeper of Oriental Antiquities in the British Museum, whose previous books incide The Japanese Print since 1900.
