Bijin-ga Zukushi - Yasunori Ikenaga (2016)

Supervised (and including artworks) by Yasunori Ikenaga, Bijin-ga Zukushi looks at bijinga, or beautiful women paintings, in the modern era. 18 artists are featured in this art collection book, with some background of bijinga in Japanese art history.

Once a quite popular genre of painting and woodblock printmaking, images of beautiful women actually fell out of favor in recent years. But these artists are helping revive the artform.
