| book description |

During the early modern period in Japan, peace and prosperity allowed elite and popular arts and culture to flourish in Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. The historic first showing outside Japan of ItÅ JakuchÅ«'s thirty-scroll series titled Colorful Realm of Living BeingsÂ (ca. 1757â€“66) in 2012 prompted a reimagining of artists and art making in this context. These essays giveÂ attention to JakuchÅ«â€™s spectacular series as well as to works by a range ofÂ contemporary artists. Selected contributions address issues of professional roles, including copying and imitation, display and memorialization, and makersâ€™ identities. Some explore the new form of painting, ukiyo-e, in the context of the urban society that provided its subject matter and audiences; others discuss the spectrum of amateurÂ and professional Edo pottery and interrelationships between painting and other media. Together, they reveal the fluidity and dynamism of artistsâ€™Â identities during a time of great significance in the countryâ€™s history.
