Explorations of “Hell” and other underworld realms in Japanese art works. This art book showcases a wide collection of depictions of ‘Hell’ in Japanese art from the 12th century to the 19th century, focusing primarily on works designated as Japanese National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties and also featuring the works by prominent artists such as Kazunobu Kano,Yoshitoshi Tsukioka and Kyosai Kawanabe. This volume also features the 19th-centur y woodblock-printed edition of Ojoyoshu (The Essentials of Rebirth in the Pure Land) written by the medieval Buddhist monk Genshin (942-1017) and is accompanied by modern bilingual text. Written in 985, this influential Buddhist text is often compared with Dante’s La Divina Commedia (La Divine Comédie/ The Divine Comedy). Its brutal scenes of underworld realms display the suffering and cruelty one might endure as a consequence of harmful acts committed in life or the judgment by the Ten Kings of Hell. Essays from historians of both Japanese art and Buddhism are also included in bilingual text. Kazuya Takaoka has received many outstanding awards, including the Gold Medal at the Japan Graphic Design Exhibition.

In 1913, he moved to London for a job as a book illustrator. His first printed work was a title, Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales and Stories with more than his 40 llustrations. And the next publication Edgar Allan Poe’s Tale of Mystery and Imagination made Harry famous. Despite his short life of only 42 years, he left numerous works in both fields of book illustration and stainedglass art. As the comprehensive collection of Harry Clarke’s works, this book introduces them by beautiful print and with detailed explanations. It is a must-have treasured book for the fan of ‘The Golden Age of Illustration’ (1880’s - 1920’s).
