Frank Lloyd Wright and the Art of Japan: The Architects Other Passion, 2001. This handsome and beautifully illustrated book chronicles Frank Lloyd Wrights long and some might say obsession with all things Japanese, most notably Japanese woodblock prints. Julia Meech’s absorbing narrative tells in vivid detail the story of Wrights immersion in this world. Her text is lushly illustrated with color reproductions of hundreds of works of Asian art, including the greats of woodblock prints; Hiroshige, Hokusai, Utamaro, among others. The book is a must for all devotees of Mr. Wrights work, his remarkable career, and his unabashed love for the genre of Asian art.
