Relaxing and inspiring!"" -Handmade by Deb blog ""I've found the perfect coloring book for me, and anyone who has an interest in Japan or art: Floating World Japanese Prints Coloring Book is more than just a coloring book! There are 22 images for you to color.  Some are by the most famous artists Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai, and others are by lesser-known by fabulous artists.  For each print you'll get a page of information about the print, which has had me looking at them in new ways and seeing things I previously didn't see. Turn the page and you'll see a large color version of the print with the artist title, and series information as well as the date of the original print.  On the right side of the page you have your own full-page black and white outline of the same print for you to color. This outline version is a work of art of its own.  I'm fascinated by all of the intricacies of the print.  And how some simple (or more complex) outlines will transform into a finished piece of colored art is interesting.""-CastleViewAcademy.com
