Review Quotes

"...Each colorful print honors the artist with a write-up about his life and an explanation of the painting...On one side you have a copy of the original print to use as a reference and on the other side, there is print for you to color and create your own masterpiece..." -- Pausitive Living blog

"...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." --CastleViewAcademy.com
