French-English-German edition. Summary: Between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries, kabuki (japanese: “singing and dancing”) was the traditional theatre for the bourgeoisie in Japan. Artists recorded numerous stage scenes and artists’ portraits in woodcuts. During the nineteenth century many of these works travelled to Europe, where they formed the basis for the impressive collection in Geneva, consisting of more than 1,000 Japanese woodcuts in excellent condition. The lavishly illustrated catalogue assembles the sheets for the first time and provides a key to understanding Japanese culture. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
