Summary:Takehisa Yumeji (1884-1934) is one of the most famous artists of Japan, where six museums are dedicated to his work as a painter, printmaker and illustrator. His unique style stands out and his romantic and melancholic imagery is still omnipresent in contemporary Japan. This publication is the first publication outside Japan dedicated solely to Takehisa Yumeji's life and prolific oeuvre. Over 140 illustrations based on the Nihon no Hanga collection in Amsterdam (the largest collection of Yumeji prints outside Japan) document his indebtedness to his great predecessors in the print world such as Kitagawa Utamaro, but equally show his fascination with Western examples of book and magazine design
