Empire of the Senses : Beauty Prints from the Floating World (Ukiyo-E Masters): 12

Colours implausibly lurid, and some not as sharp as they could be.

Perhaps it's silly to expect a lot of data in a picture book, but I would have liked having more insight into these prints than the author provided. The art itself is intricate and stunning.Note: despite the nipples on the cover, this is not really all that titillating of a book.
