Purchased at a museum several years ago. This book explores the influence of Alphonse Mucha, a leading figure of Art Nouveau, and the reception and development of his glamorous female figures by the Hakuba-kai (White Horse Society), the magazine "Myojo," and the "Japanese Mucha school." It also examines the wave of Japonisme, focusing on two Czech artists: Emil Orlik, who came to Japan to study the techniques of Ukiyo-e, and the Japanese printmakers who were inspired by his lyrical works. The book traces this wave through over 600 illustrations, primarily graphic works, and in-depth essays. Price: 2,500 yen (excluding tax)
