Reference about Japanese woodblock carvers: Actually (09/2009) the second edition of the book was published. Now it includes 364 seals from 107 carvers. Mr. Gordon Friese from the “Buchhandlung & Antiquariat Mephisto, Unna, Germany”, collected 249 different seals from 96 different Japanese woodblock carvers. These seals are not be shown in any other western references about woodblock prints so it’s a very helpful publication for all who want a complete description of those prints which bear a carver seal. The book is written bilingual (German/English) and the price is acceptable (35,- EUR plus p&p). Here (http://www.ukiyo-e.de/Hori-shi/hori-shi.html) you find the email-address for order.

WWW-sites (N) related to Ukiyo-e and Kunisada:

Some more links you can find at Hans Olof Johannsen´s site: "A guide to the Ukiyo-e Sites ot the Internet" - the very best site for links related to Ukiyo-e.

How to enter the database of the National Diet Library !

First follow the link then you will enter the index site. You will find three possible links. Click on the center link. Then you come to a site with Japanese text and three input lines. Use the second line and type in the following two Japanese characters for "Toyokuni": 豊国 or the two characters 国貞 for "Kunisada" (to see the characters correctly on your browser you need the SimSun-font installed on your PC - go to the Control Panel of the Internet-explorer 6, if you use it, and select the "East Asian Languages" option. Highligth the green marked characters, copy them and insert them in the second line).

How to enter the database of the Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan University !

If you follow the link you reach a site with many querry fields. For the first using take the left above field. You have to type in Japanese characters (see above)! And than you need a lot of time, there are 10.000s of prints of many Ukiyo-e artists, but very much are twice and triple. How to handle the other querry fields you should make some experiments!

For prints of the Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan University, I always give as reference "ritsu" followed by the inventory number given by the institute.

Here you find the Japanese characters for some other Ukiyo-e artits:
"Japanese writings"

A very interesting site for Ukiyo-e fans was created by Michael Wilde: "The dictionary of Ukiyo-e". Here you can find lots of informations to all subjects related to Ukiyo-e. But for the moment in German only. http://www.baiten.de

Another helpful site is Jerry Vegder's ones. It is primarily a commercial site but provides also a growing list of index and glossary pages including Edo time publishers.
