Ichimatsu: Japanese Play Dolls is a lavishly illustrated art historical exploration of the Japanese doll commonly known as Ichimatsu. Beginning with its associations with the celebrated Kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu I in the early 18 the century, this book traces the evolution of ichimatsu-ningyo from static display doll, to articulated play doll, to status-associated gift dolls, to diplomatic envoy. It includes a detailed discussion of the jointed doll known as a mitsuore, looking at its technical evolution as well as its place in the Japanese doll economy of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It covers, as well, the soft-bodied play doll of the mid 19th century known as a daki-ningyo and its impact on the evolution of Western play dolls. Within the 20th century, we explore how this particular form of doll evolved into depictions of young girls and boys dressed in their formal best that served as special gifts for festivals as well as weddings, detailing its surprising use as a diplomatic gift beginning with the Japanese Friendship Doll exchange of 1927, but also including less-known cultural exchanges of the 1930s. For much of its history, ichimatsu were the product of the proverbial "unknown craftsman," with no real identifiable makers. But, beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lineages specializing in these beautiful dolls became established. This book presents these lineages as well providing biographical profiles of their most famous practitioners. The book includes a discussion of the "state of play" today, introducing modern masters of the form. For the collector there is a section detailing the salient points one should consider when evaluating an ichimatsu. And we conclude with an artist signature index allowing non-Japanese collectors better identify their dolls. Each section is enlivened with the use of a combination of archival as well as full color imagery highlighting this beautiful doll form.

Woodblock Kuchi-e Prints: Reflections of Meiji Culture is a pioneer exploration of a previously neglected genre of late-Meiji art: the type of handmade multicolor book frontispieces known as kuchi-e. Early European collectors assumed that the Japanese woodblock tradition came to an end in Western-tainted prints. Although many crudely colored prints of subjects such as steam trains and men in derby hats did flood the Japanese market, the works introduced in this amply illustrated and readable volume make clear that there was another class of popular woodblock tradition unknown to foreigners that continued into the early twentieth century. In their examination of this late flowering of the woodblock print, the authors provide not only an introduction to a popular artistic tradition but also a new lens through which to view Japanese life at the end of the nineteenth century.

Ningyo: The Art of the Japanese Doll features over 250 unique photographs as well as extensive commentary and background history. Japanese dolls (ningyo) have played an important role in Japanese art and culture since its earliest stages of development, as talismanic figures, centerpieces, in elaborate festivals, medical study tools, theater distractions, decorative objects, and avidly collected art forms, as well as childhood playthings. Ningyo: The Art of the Japanese Doll is the most comprehensive book on antique Japanese dolls and figurines published in English. The book focuses on the many types of Japanese dolls: gosho: palace dolls hina: Girl's Day dolls musha: warrior dolls for the Boy's Day Festival isho: fashion dolls The principle forms of the dolls and their history, stylistic development, cultural context, and economic imperatives are discussed against the backdrop of Edo-period society and popular culture. Beautifully detailed color photographs of ningyo drawn from private collections, many of which are published here for the first time, as well as images of related materials selected from celebrated museums and temple collections, such as folding screens, woodblock prints, sculpture, painting ceramics, and textiles, help place the dolls in context. Ningyo: The Art of the Japanese Doll is a fascinating book for anyone interested in Asian doll art and doll collecting.

"THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE IS THE ONE THAT ACHIEVES MADNESS..." Tokyo. A serial killer known as the Doll Maker is stalking the streets of Kabuki-cho, preying on the prostitutes that work in the city's notorious red light district. Obsessed with obscene fantasies and terrifying visions of an apocalyptic holocaust, the killer is a divinely inspired psychopath whose crimes incorporate elements of the occult, Buddhist doctrine and kabuki theatre. Takeshi Harada, a disgraced former police officer, is hired by a powerful yakuza crime boss to track down the elusive killer. Embroiled in a cycle of sex, violence and murder, the investigation leads Harada through the neon netherworld of the Tokyo vice trade -- its love hotels, image clubs and pink salons -- culminating in a life-and-death confrontation with the Doll Maker...and a final chilling act of bloody, symbolic justice.
