The Floating World
by Michener, James
The Floating World by James Michener is a non-fiction look at the history of Japanese woodblock printmakers. These artists were cut off from contacts with the rest of the world and limited by their own governmental restrictions, but were able to keep their art vital for over two hundred years.
