"Impressions of Ukiyo-ye, the School of the Japanese Colour-Print Artists" by Dora Amsden is an art historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution, significance, and techniques of Ukiyo-ye, a form of Japanese art focused on woodblock printing that captured the essence of everyday life and beauty in Japan. It provides insights into the lives and works of renowned artists within this genre, such as Hokusai and Hiroshige, and examines how their art reflects the socio-cultural nuances of their time. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the concept of Ukiyo-ye, describing it as a "spiritual rendering" that encapsulates the daily life and artistic cravings of the Japanese people. Amsden highlights the historical context in which this popular art form flourished, briefly touching on the influences from Chinese and Korean art while emphasizing the unique characteristics that defined Ukiyo-ye. It sets the stage for a more detailed exploration of its various periods and artists, outlining the importance of understanding the origins and aesthetic developments that led to the acclaim of Ukiyo-ye in both Japan and the broader art world.
