Investigating everything from the artistry behind striking polychrome woodblock frontispieces to the tensions between image and text in the fast-paced production of periodicals, over 150 full-color illustrations from the historical periods investigated are showcased. By examining how literary giants like Tsubouchi Shōyō, Ozaki Kōyō, Higuchi Ichiyō, Shimazaki Tōson, and Izumi Kyōka collaborated with highly skilled artists such as Watanabe Seitei, Kaburaki Kiyokata, Kuroda Seiki, and Hirezaki Eihō, this pioneering study reveals little-known dimensions of modern Japanese literature, illuminating the vibrant and complex linkages between words and pictures.
