Today we think of ukiyo-e—“the pictures of the floating world”—as masterpieces of Japanese art, highly prized throughout the world. Yet it is often said that ukiyo-e were little appreciated in their own time and were even used as packing material for ceramics. In Picturing the Floating World, Julie Nelson Davis debunks this myth and demonstrates that ukiyo-e was thoroughly appreciated as a field of artistic production, worthy of connoisseurship and canonization by its contemporaries. Putting these images back into their dynamic context, she shows how consumers, critics, and makers produced and sold, appraised and collected, and described and recorded ukiyo-e. She recovers this multilayered world of pictures in which some were made for a commercial market, backed by savvy entrepreneurs looking for new ways to make a profit, while others were produced for private coteries and high-ranking connoisseurs seeking to enrich their cultural capital. The book opens with an analysis of period documents to establish the terms of appraisal brought to ukiyo-e in late eighteenth-century Japan, mapping the evolution of the genre from a century earlier and the development of its typologies and the creation of a canon of makers—both of which have defined the field ever since. Organized around divisions of major technological and aesthetic developments, the book reveals how artistic practice and commercial enterprise were intertwined throughout ukiyo-e’s history, from its earliest imagery through the twentieth century. The depiction of particular subjects in and for the floating world of urban Edo and the process of negotiating this within the larger field of publishing are examined to further ground ukiyo-e as material culture, as commodities in a mercantile economy. Picturing the Floating World offers a new approach: a critical yet accessible analysis of the genre as it was developed in its social, cultural, and political milieu. The book introduces students, collectors, and enthusiasts to ukiyo-e as a genre under construction in its own time while contributing to our understanding of early modern visual production.

The islands of Tuvalu are under threat of being made completely uninhabitable due to the effects of climate change. In A FLOATING WORLD, the author presents photographs from his collection which shows something of the character of the atolls and the fragile nature of their existence. It could be that Tuvalu will soon disappear beneath the ocean but at least pictures will remain to help serve the record of what it once was.

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day In the face of the misery in his homeland, the artist Masuji Ono was unwilling to devote his art solely to the celebration of physical beauty. Instead, he put his work in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into World War II. Now, as the mature Ono struggles through the aftermath of that war, his memories of his youth and of the "floating world"—the nocturnal world of pleasure, entertainment, and drink—offer him both escape and redemption, even as they punish him for betraying his early promise. Indicted by society for its defeat and reviled for his past aesthetics, he relives the passage through his personal history that makes him both a hero and a coward but, above all, a human being.

Inside the Floating Worldpresents an overview of Japanese social history from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries using images of children, actors, courtesans, and landscape. All of the most eminent woodblock artists are featured, including Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Utmaro. In the last two decades, visual culture of our own time has come under the scrutiny of specialists from such diverse disciplines as anthropology, sociology, film studies, psychology, comparative literature studies, and art history. Methodologies and critical practices have emerged from each discipline that focus on the wide range of experiences contemporary visual culture offers to its consumers.Inside the Floating Worldaffords a unique opportunity to bring these recent critical approaches to bear on the historical and aesthetic issues surrounding japanese printmaking. The book serves as both an introduction to and a serious explication of the social meanings imbedded in Japanese prints. Allen Hockley is associate professor of art history at Dartmouth College. He is the author ofThe Prints of Isoda Koryusai: Floating World Culture and Its Consumers in Eighteenth–Century Japan.
