{"product_id":"the-moon-anne-sefrioui-9783791394619","title":"The Moon: Woodblock Prints by Hokusai, Hiroshige and Other Artists","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis luminous boxed set of woodblock prints celebrates the seductive power of the moon in the Edo period of Japanese art.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Japanese printmaking, the moon appears as a quiet yet powerful presence, shaping atmosphere, marking time, and infusing scenes with emotion and narrative tension. These volumes bring together evocative nocturnal works by beloved artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and Kawase Hasui, revealing how a single motif can generate remarkably varied moods--from stillness and contemplation to drama and unease--across different periods and artistic approaches.\u003cbr\u003eLandscapes, city views, and fleeting human encounters are arranged into a flowing visual sequence in which light, shadow, weather, and reflection recur and subtly transform. Select works appear in extended accordion-fold spreads that open outward to reveal expansive compositions, allowing prints to be seen in relation to one another and emphasizing rhythm, scale, and continuity.\u003cbr\u003ePrinted on highest quality paper with exceptional attention to color, line, and tonal nuance, the reproductions preserve the delicacy and graphic power of the original woodblock prints. Housed in a slipcase and accompanied by a booklet that provides historical and artistic context, the book offers a visually generous encounter with the moon as one of the most enduring and expressive subjects in Japanese art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Sefrioui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3791394614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791394619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prestel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Anne Sefrioui","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659780501759,"sku":"9783791394619","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-moon-anne-sefrioui-9783791394619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
