A Japanese Artist in London

by Yoshio Markino

About this book

Yoshio Markino describes his arrival in England and the difficult years through which he established himself as an artist in London. Lodgings, work, friendships, illness and encounters with the city provide the setting for his personal narrative.

His impressions of English life are interwoven with reflections on art and cultural differences. The complete 1910 edition is written and illustrated by Markino, retaining eight colour illustrations and four monochrome works, as well as the introductory appreciation and author’s preface.
