  abstract: "Hokuei: Master of Osaka Kabuki Prints centers on one of the most intriguing artists in kabuki actor prints: Shunbaisai Hokuei (act. ca. 1828-36). A culminating, yet enigmatic, figure in Osaka ukiyo-e prints, Hokuei produced more masterworks than any other artist of his day in the Kyoto-Osaka (Kamigata) region. The prints in this richly illustrated publication are largely drawn from the John Fiorillo collection, considered the most extensive of Hokuei's works. The book presents a thoughtful and thorough overview of the artist's life and career in the world of Kamigata print production. Also included is a section highlighting fifty-six meticulously researched and remarkably well-preserved prints. Through Hokuei's prints, the world of kabuki comes alive in fascinating detail, while assessments of design and technical attributes bring into focus the achievements of Hokuei and Kamigata print designers of the period. Of particular importance for scholars and collectors is a fully illustrated and annotated catalogue raisonň of the artist's to-date documented 270 prints, a number of which are designs unique to the Fiorillo collection. Appendices introduce aspects of Hokuei's prints, including summary data on print formats, figure types, deluxe printings, woodblock-printed books, and the artist's students; signatures and seals; publishers; block-cutters and printers; kabuki theaters; and the making of Japanese prints. The depth and scope of information provided in Hokuei: Master of Osaka Kabuki Prints makes it a singular reference for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of Osaka prints, of the artist Hokuei, and of the world of kabuki" --
