Summary "With the help of Matthi Forrer, the leading authority on Japanese woodblock prints, the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst in Cologne has conducted a major survey of its inventory for the first time after more than 100 years. The result can be described as historic. The surprisingly diverse collection with many hitherto unknown prints, is suited to produce a comprehensive handbook on Japan's woodblock printing culture." --publisher's description, lower cover.
