This article highlights several recent English- and French-language monographs and articles that focus on early modern Japanese print and publishing culture from a variety of perspectives, including (1) as valuable sources of information on Edo period society and ways of thinking; (2) as cultural products involving multiple actors (authors, publishers / booksellers, illustrators, etc.); and (3) as multifaceted phenomena, where text and image are inherently intertwined and cannot be analyzed in isolation.
