Modernity and Nostalgia in Japanese Prints is the first monograph in English on the Meiji print artist Chikanobu (1838-1912), well known for his depictions of women and scenes of Japanese history and legends. Author Bruce A. Coats presents a detailed overview of Chikanobu's life and works, placed within the historical and artistic context of Meiji Japan, when its rapid modernization and westernization created an interest for old Japan among the Japanese and when the arts underwent significant changes as well. Essays draw upon various topics related to Chikanobu's work, such as Meiji literature and the heroic ethos in the late Meiji period. Works from public collection form the core of the illustrative material. The images are accompanied by elaborate descriptions and in a number of cases compared with similar designs from other artists. Two of Chikanobu's well known series of 50 prints each, Snow, Moon, Flowers and Eastern Brocades: Day and Night Compared are illustrated in their entirety. And with over 270 full color illustrations, Chikanobu. Modern and Nostalgia in Japanese Prints truly displays the richness of the intense Meiji print palette.
