Incorporating themes from classical, literary, and historical sources, Ukiyo-e artists painted the natural environment and interesting landmarks — but their favorite subject was beautiful women. This collection of 30 charming illustrations, adapted from authentic woodblock prints, features lovely ladies in elegant kimonos playing musical instruments, boating, dancing, strolling, and engaged in other activities.

This review is from: Women of the Ukiyo-e (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
The limited preview of books, especially of this nature, is understandable, but sometimes the preview doesn't really convey the majority of the contents. I ordered this book with crossed fingers, and luckily it turned out to be a good one. I thought "flipping" through might help others make a more informed decision, so I put together a quick video peek. The pages are of good quality and printed on both sides. Thirty line illustrations, and 11 color plates (on the covers). In my opinion it's another winner from Dover Coloring Books, and makes me amenable to picking up some more titles by Ming-Ju Sun.

This review is from: Women of the Ukiyo-e (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
This book had a perfect amount of assortment in it. Some indoors, some outdoors. I used colored pencils instead of crayons. It is nice to see some cultural background in the drawings. The hair-dos are about the same in every picture. I guess that it how they wear thier hair. The clothing is detailed and one can make it very colorful. I really like that the paper is white and sturdy, not faded and thin like some other coloring books.
