This luminous boxed set of woodblock prints showcases how the Edo period of Japanese art celebrated the seductive power of the moon.

In Japanese printmaking, the moon appears as a quiet yet powerful presence, shaping atmosphere, marking time, and infusing scenes with emotion and narrative tension. This volume brings together evocative nocturnal works by beloved artists, revealing how a single motif can generate remarkably varied moods.

Landscapes, city views, and fleeting human encounters are arranged into a flowing visual sequence in which light, shadow, weather, and reflection recur and subtly transform. The reproductions preserve the delicacy and graphic power of the original woodblock prints.

The accompanying text provides historical and artistic context, while the reader enjoys the beautiful concertina fold imagery.

  • Features woodblock print art by Hokusai, Hiroshige, Yoshitoshi, and Hasui.
  • Select iconic works by these masters appear in extended accordion-fold spreads.
  • Printed on high quality paper with exceptional attention to color, line, and tonal nuance.
  • Housed in a slipcase and accompanied by an informative booklet.
  • A beautiful and informative gift for any lover of Japanese art.
