Coloring Book for Grown-Ups Ukiyoe Beauties

Classic woodblock print women portraits coloring book

Woodblock printing is Japan's most famous art style. In ukiyoe pictures, whose name means "pictures of the floating world," 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century artists depicted the world of high-class courtesans, Kabuki theater actors, sumo wrestlers, and landscapes and scenes from the everyday life in big cities like Edo (as Tokyo was then known). The portraits of the courtesans were particularly popular (courtesans were as famous as supermodels or movie and music stars today) and this Coloring Book for Grown-Ups Ukiyoe Beauties gives you the chance to recreate some of them using your own creative powers!
