Hokusai & Kyosai Humorous Ukiyo-e Exhibition Catalog - LMT

Size: 6” x 8” - Pages: 320 - Published: 2013 - Price: $60 - Binding: Softcover

This is a GREAT little collection of Hokusai sketches and full color illustrations as well as Kyosai sketches and artwork. Predominately sketches and definitely some old favorites, but the Kyosai sketches make this book a great addition to any and all Japanese art collections. They only made 1000 copies and it will sell out fast. I got 200 and once I am out, that's it.

Hokusai Museum Catalog vol. 1 - Birds and Animals

Size: 9” x 12” - Pages: 164 Published: 1990 - Price: $80 - Binding: Hardcover

This book is awesome! Tons of full page, full color renditions of hawks, phoenix, fish, tigers, shi shi, snakes, roosters fox...and heaps of Hokusai sketches towards the end. If you have his sketchbooks there isn't anything new in here per se, but seeing them in full color and large as life really adds a new dimention to his work. This book is a keeper.
