The Frank Lloyd Wright Collection of Surimono

The Frank Lloyd Wright Collection of Surimono

Joan B. Mirviss
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Surimono are Japanese woodblock prints issued in very limited editions for special occasions. Many served as elegant New Year greeting, and these prints combine embossing, gauffrage, hand-rubbed metallic pigments and materials such as lacquer and mother-of-pearl. Most surimono were commissioned by poetry clubs and are inscribed in calligraphy with whimsical or humorous poems composed by the club members. The Frank Lloyd Wright collection of surimono was recently discovered in the vaults of Taliesen West, and this book, in conjunction with a touring exhibition of Wright's surimono, presents the prints. It contains a catalogue of the prints in the collection, an essay on poetry found on the surimono and an index of poets.
