artisandoflove:

Doea anyone have any recommendations for Tumblogs dedicated to, or featuring, 18th - 19th century Ukiyō-e [Japanese woodblock prints], I.e. images of the Floating World, art from the Edo period in Japan?

I am currently following:
nipponde
Thorstein Ulf (not dedicated to, but survey of all art periods, Japanese art included)
yajifun

Any additions to my list, greatly appreciated!!

For research for Fetish of Silence, my thesis blog.

Thanks all!
