Japanese Prints Coloring Book 

by John Green / Ed Sibbett Jr. / Ming-Ju Sun 

Paperbacks 48 pages each 

More than 40 captivating, ready-to-color illustrations depict the peaceful and prosperous Edo period, from 1603 to 1867. Based on woodblock prints and other authentic sources, these images include samurai warriors, a Shinto shrine, a tea ceremony, and a scene from a Noh play, plus pictures from urban and country settings and the work of printmakers, potters, and musicians. An introduction and detailed captions offer fascinating details about Japanese art, government, costume, and daily life.

Over 1,000 years of Chinese fashions for men and women are featured in this exquisitely rendered coloring book — from a strapless, high-waisted dress with a transparent outer robe worn during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618–907) to an elegant, knee-length sheath trimmed with floral applique (late Republic period).

Also included are ready-to-color images of a Tang Dynasty official wearing a flowing robe and a hat denoting his rank as a civil servant; military men of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) attired in boots, tunics, and trousers and sporting sheathed swords; two actors from the Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368) in lavishly embroidered robes; a musician of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644); a street vendor of the Ming Dynasty in a simple belted robe and trousers; young housemaids of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), wearing loose robes belted at the waist with colorful ties; a high official and his wife in elaborately embroidered robes and skirts of the Qing Dynasty; and two young women of the Republic period wearing delicately embroidered ankle-length skirts and loose-sleeved tops.

Captions describe each garment in a collection that will delight coloring book fans and enthusiasts of East Asian cultures.

The distinctive Japanese print, the Ukiyo-e ("pictures of the passing, floating world") is among the most beautiful of all art forms developed by man. This exceptional collection offers exquisite, ready-to-be-colored plates by Japan's greatest print masters: Kiyonaga, Utamaro, Hokusai, Sharaku, Hiroshige, and 16 others.
