The Floating World by novelist James A. Michener is a classic work on the Japanese print of the Edo period (1615-1868). Mr. Michener shows how the Japanese printmakers, cut off from revivifying contacts with the art of the rest of the world and hampered by their own governmental restrictions, were able to keep their art vital for two centuries through their vigor and determination. For this new edition, Howard A. Link updates the scholarship and expands on many theoretical aspects introduced in Michener's study.

Sharaku was ignored in this own country and time, Japan in the 18th century and remained in obscurity until his powerful portraits of Kabuki actors were discovered one hundred years later by Western artists and critics. The last section of the book is given to the description of documents and works of art that may eventually lead to a fuller portrait of this great portrait artist.
