To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For exhibition purposes, the entire collection has been divided into four groups, each illustrating a well-defined subject, as follows: — 1. The art of Hokusai and his followers. 2. The New Year's festival, games and pastimes. 3. Gods and heroes. 4. Architecture and the home. All of the prints in this collection belong to the class called surimono, a name given to cards of greeting for special occasions, such as New Year, birthdays, and meetings of poets and artists. This art flourished between... the years 1780 and 1860, — that period known as the Japanese renaissance, when the minor arts were at their best. These prints were produced for private circulation and not sold, as was the ordinary print, which was made mainly for the shopkeeper and peasant. Surimono were the charm and delight of the literary and artistic world, and were presented as souvenirs to a limited group of friends. The process by [7] 8 Field Museum of Natural History which they are made is the same as that employed in the making of the ordinary print, with the additional use of metal dusts: copper, silver, and gold, used to heighten the elegant effect of brocade.
