"Marks (Japanese Woodblock Prints), curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, presents a lavishly illustrated survey of three centuries of art that shaped Japanese comics. [ ] Readers curious about the historical roots of contemporary pop culture will find plenty to explore." Publisher's Weekly "Even readers not specifically interested in manga, will find the art featured in the book exquisite and a pleasure to examine more closely. The quality of paper, matte printing, and art direction that mimics handmade washi beautifully tie together the disparate eras and images. A fine addition to the library of any lover of Japanese art and history." Kyoto Journal "Tracing the evolution of the Japanese storytelling art style through the centuries with a focus on five key works, Japan's Manga Revolution is thoroughly accessible to academic and lay readers alike, and a welcome addition to public and college library comic history and literary studies collections. Highly recommended!" Midwest Book Review
