Time Present and Time Past Images of a Forgotten Master Toyohara Kunichika 1835-1900

"Times Present and Time Past" is the first publication in English to treat the life and work of Toyohara Kunichika, currently considered one of the last Ukiyo-e masters. Kunichika's designs were drawn from established Ukiyo-e genres such as Kabuki actor prints ("yakusha-e") and prints of beautiful women ("bijinga"); however, his modern approach to color, composition and subject proves that he was a man of his time. The book includes reproductions of 135 of Kunichika's prints, an extensive bibliography and an overview of signatures and carvers' seals.Newland, Amy Reigle is the author of 'Time Present and Time Past Images of a Forgotten Master Toyohara Kunichika 1835-1900', published 2001 under ISBN 9789074822114 and ISBN 9074822118.
