It flew off the shelves when it was released shortly after his death. This volume has the same dimensions and contents as the original along with a forward from Japanese art historian Andrew Livingston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJapanese folklore is rife with zany and weird creatures that have captured the imaginations of artists and authors in Japan and around the world for centuries. Kawanabe Kyosai lived through the transformation of Japan from a feudal society to a modern state. Born in 1831 in Koga in modern Ibaraki Prefecture, he was trained in the Kano school of Japanese art. As a boy he worked for a short time with famed woodblock artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kano School, famed for its focus on painting castles and on panels, was a heralded school in Japanese aesthetic design for centuries. During the 1867 revolution, Kyosai was known more as a caricaturist. He was arrested three times by the shogunate, the feudal government he lived to see overthrown. He then went on to lambast the new government headed by Emperor Meiji.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKyosai succeeded Hokusai as one of the great artists of Japanese history. His art evokes the traditional aesthetic, but betrays his unease with the world. His subjects are often the changes in modern life, wildlife and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44295212466278,"sku":"9798702879932","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/QnpYTDJ6aXRXSStRUGY0RVEvb244dz09.webp?v=1767066933","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/kawanabe-kyosais-100-demons-traditional-japanese-monsters-from-a-meiji-era-woodblock-master-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
