Yoshijirō Urushibara : a Japanese Printmaker in London

This publication is a catalogue raisonné of the work of Urushibara Yoshijiro (1889-1953), who came to London at the age of twenty-one. During his thirty years in Europe he produced a remarkable number of prints and played a major role in encouraging the production and appreciation of the colour woodcut in the Japanese manner. His most famous and successful collaboration was with Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956) and throughout his career Urushibara contributed to the cross-cultural flowing between European and Japanese art at the beginning of the twentieth century.
