He was the second head of the renowned Utagawa school of Japanese woodblock artists, and was the artist who elevated it to the position of great fame and power it occupied for the rest of the nineteenth century. (Wikipedia). ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in 1919, Juzo Suzuki was an art historian and Ukiyo-e expert. He graduated from the University of Tokyo. Other works of Suzuki's include "Sharaku (Masterworks of Ukiyo-e)", "The Decadents: Masterworks of Ukiyo-e", "Utagawa Hiroshige", and "Images Du Temps Qui Passe Peintures et Estampes d'Ukiyo-e".
