Refined, tasty, healthy, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing: food lovers around the world are full of praise for Japanese cuisine. But did you know that sushi, maki, tempura, and other tofu skewers can be seen in works of art dating back to the Edo period (between the 17th and mid-18th centuries)? It was during this period that the unique flavors associated with the use of kombu seaweed, yuzu, mochi, and miso were invented, and are still used in cooking today. The scenes of fishing, gathering, preparation, restaurants, banquets, and seasonal picnics, in which the roles are played by fashionable actors, courtesans, or anonymous people, which punctuate the work through more than 100 prints, will seduce both art lovers and food enthusiasts. A few photographs, a glossary, and Japanese onomatopoeias for talking about food complete this work.
