Floating World Japanese Prints Coloring Book

Recreate masterwork Ukiyo-e prints with guided coloring pages and stories

Traditional Japanese woodblock prints demand attention to subtle color transitions and intricate patterns, challenges that become manageable when you can study the original composition while you work. This coloring book pairs 23 Ukiyo-e masterpieces with line-art versions printed opposite the full-color originals. You decide whether to match the artist's palette or explore your own interpretations of geishas, Kabuki actors, and Mount Fuji landscapes.

Each print includes contextual notes about the original work and artist, grounding your coloring session in the historical floating world these images captured. The 9×12 format provides room to work comfortably with colored pencils or fine markers without cramping detailed areas like kimono patterns or cherry blossom branches. Perforated pages let you remove finished pieces for framing without damaging the binding or subsequent pages.

Andrew Vigar's selections span the genre's characteristic subjects, figures, landscapes, flora, and fauna, giving you variety in both composition and complexity. Whether you're drawn to architectural precision in landscape prints or the flowing textiles in figure studies, you'll find prints that match your interests and skill level.
