A phantasmagorical journey through the universe of the heroes who populate the world of Japanese woodcuts, the ukiyo-e or "images of the floating world", a privileged means of artistic expression of the Edo period (1603-1868).
The engravings depicting the bushi, an expression of an unquenchable desire for strength and beauty, are imbued with a true romantic passion. From the dramatic adventures of Minamoto no Tametomo to those of Jiraiya, the ninja of Japanese folklore, from the exploits of the forty-seven rōnin to the epic battles of the sword master and poet Miyamoto Musashi, the most valiant and legendary samurai alternate on the stage of this extraordinary volume.
