The art of the Ukiyo-e reflected the artistic expression of an isolated civilisation which; when it became accessible to the West; significantly influenced a number of European artists. The three masters of Ukiyo-e; Hokusai; Utamaro and Hiroshige; are united here for the first time to create a true reference on Japanese art. The three masters rank highly among the most famous Japanese artistic productions of all time. This new title of the Prestige of Art collection will be a reference for art students and Japanese art lovers.

ThreattWell written overview covering some of the best known names in NC string music. It was easy to see that the author put lots of time and research into each chapter. It makes a great gift for people who enjoys the NC music scene; especially those who attend events such as MerleFest. A must-have book for anyone interested in old-time and bluegrass music.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. STRING MUSIC MASTERS is a masterpiece!!By CustomerI have been waiting for a while for this book to be published and it is well worth the wait. Elizabeth Carlson does a masterful job of telling the story of some of North Carolinas finest traditional musicians. She writes with great respect and affection for these musicians and their contributions to our culture. There is something to be learned about each of these selected musicians. The writing style is engaging and highly readable. You feel as though you really know the musicians after reading the book. I recommend STRING MUSIC MASTERS for all lovers of rural acoustic music. It hits all the right notes.Kinney RorrerHost of Back to the Blue Ridge WVTF-FM0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Elizabeth Carlsons writing is a delight to readBy Jean PargetterThis is a fascinating and meticulously researched book about a very particular regional music form--and the musicians who made it.Elizabeth Carlsons writing is a delight to read; the reader feels transported to North Carolina. Even as I started reading it; I was already checking You Tube to find the music she is writing about to actually hear it.She has included many photos and real stories: the musicians come alive off the pages.I recommend this book to anyone; but particularly those who are interested in North Carolina; Bluegrass and string music and to anybody taking up an instrument to learn this wonderful and uniquely American art form.
