Books on the making of Japanese woodblock prints

There is a surprisingly small number of English books available on the making of Japanese woodblock prints. Of these, the two books written by members of the Yoshida family (Hiroshi and Tōshi) and the recently published eBook by David Bull definitely stand out. The original books of Hiroshi and Tōshi Yoshida are quite difficult to obtain. Fortunately, an electronic version of the book written by Hiroshi is available by clicking on the link shown below.

All the book images can be clicked (and then clicked again) to obtain a larger (and even larger) view of the book cover:

Matthi_Forrer_Hokusai_2011 Published in 1987, this Japanese book written by Tadashi Sadamura and entitled いま、北斎が甦る (which is pronounced as ‘Ima, Hokusai ga yomigaeru’, and translates into something like ‘Hokusai now brought back to life’) explains and shows how original woodblocks of the Ehon Sumida Gawa Ryōgan Ichiran designed by Hokusai (which somehow ended up in the British museum) were used to obtain new impressions of these three picture books.

Note: With many thanks to David Bull for sending me this book as a gift.
