Mack, Nancy - Adrift in a Floating World, September 27, 1995
Paper description
The author's husband, Jack, had an aunt and uncle with an extensive collection of Japanese prints which she came to appreciate more and more as she learned about their history, especially in the 17th century under the Shogun, when a new entertainment world, ukiyo - or "floating world" - came into being. She traces the history of Japanese art and the family's prints, many of which made their way to a sale at Christie's.
