An ultimate research tool for the study of Japanese prints, this publication represents eight years of research by the author William Green. It lists over 6000 publications dating from 1822 to 1993 and principally focuses on those in the English language. In addition, the inclusion of newspaper and periodical reviews of the major books and catalogs make it possible to trace the academic debate surrounding much of the literature regarding Japanese prints.
The bibliography is divided along thematic lines into fifteen chapters and also comprises three indexes, making it an easy-to-use reference work for students, scholars and collectors alike.
