Ukiyo-e Beauties

Experience the full beauty of historic Japanese art with “Classic Art of Japan” from Appliya. This application brings you the long heritage of the traditional Ukiyo-e art form using the unique technological advantages of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Our app features art taken directly from The Chiba City Museum of Art, which hosts one of the world’s most famous Ukiyo-e collections. Images of these rare and valuable pieces of art are not available online and, unlike most digital presentations of Ukiyo-e works, our app features artwork that accounts for the fading effects of time, and we present these pieces with accurate colors that have been restored to their original clarity. This is the first real eBook for Ukiyo-e with such attention paid to original colors.

The world's leading authority on Ukiyo-e prints, Professor Tadashi Kobayashi, supervised the color restoration process and creation of the Japanese text descriptions of the art pieces. Professor Robert Campbell of Tokyo University, another top researcher in Ukiyo-e, guided the creation of accurate English text that provides detailed discourse on the history and influence of the artwork. Beginners and Ukiyo-e experts alike can enjoy our presentation of this unique art.
Our image viewer offers an easy interface like the iPhone default picture viewer; so browsing through the art should feel familiar. But we’ve added additional features: the default viewer only has 1.5 times zoom, but our app allows 4 times zoom, allowing you to fully appreciate the exquisite quality of our high resolution (1150×800px) images. Unlike some applications, each of our images comes packaged with the application, so there’s no need to have an Internet connection for download. This is truly the best way to view the highest quality classic Japanese art!

Features:

- 5 paintings and 20 woodblock prints, all in stunning 1150 x 800 resolution
Enjoy beautiful depictions of old Japanese life, including the Geisha

- 4x Zoom!
Fully appreciate the exquisite quality and texture of our high-resolution images with amazing zoom levels.

- Descriptions and notes from the top experts in the field
This app maintains the greatest authenticity with the involvement of Professors Kobayashi and Campbell, two of the world’s most respected experts in the art form.

- Enjoy original colors!
The utmost care and attention has been paid to display these historic treasures as they would have been viewed hundreds of years ago.
