  Edo Period - Tokugawa Rule...

  The Edo period in Japan began with the dramatic rise of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which would bring over two centuries of relative peace and stability to the country. This transformation was not immediate but was set into motion by the pivotal Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Ieyasu, a powerful daimyo and skilled strategist, emerged victorious in this decisive conflict, defeating rival factions and securing his dominance over the fractured Japanese landscape. This battle marked the end of the Warring States period, a time of nearly constant civil war, and laid the foundation for a new era of centralized feudal rule. 
  In 1603, Ieyasu was granted the title of shogun by the emperor, officially establishing the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although the emperor remained a symbolic figurehead, true political power rested with the shogun. Ieyasu’s government was based in Edo, a small fishing village that quickly developed into a sprawling political and economic center—modern-day Tokyo. From here, the Tokugawa clan implemented a system of governance that emphasized strict control, social hierarchy, and regional oversight. The shogunate devised a complex administrative structure that allowed it to maintain authority over hundreds of semi-autonomous domains ruled by daimyo, while ensuring loyalty through a combination of military strength, economic policy, and social regulation. 
  One of the key strategies used by Tokugawa Ieyasu to solidify his power was the creation of the han system. Under this arrangement, each daimyo governed a specific territory but was subject to strict oversight from the shogunate. The policy of sankin-kotai, or alternate attendance, required daimyo to spend alternating years in Edo, effectively draining their resources and keeping them under close surveillance. Their families were often kept in Edo as virtual hostages, ensuring obedience and discouraging rebellion.

  Este libro, escrito tanto para principiantes como para pintores experimentados, pretende enseñar las técnicas básicas necesarias para dominar el arte del dibujo, con explicaciones sencillas de los conceptos básicos y con muchos ejercicios y ejemplos claros.
  EL libro está organizado cómo si de una clase de dibujo de las que se imparten en las academias de arte se tratara, partiendo de un nivel de dificultad bajo. En otras palabras, enseña a dibujar desde la base, mostrando claramente las técnicas más elementales y progresando de la misma manera que lo hace un dibujo.
  Está dividido en tres secciones:
  "Aprender haciendo", donde el aprendizaje del dibujo comienza con la práctica real de un ejercicio y se intenta superar los retos que presenta el dibujo.
  "Análisis", donde se estudia el trabajo de otros artistas profesionales para ver cómo han resuelto con éxito ciertos efectos en sus dibujos.
  "Cuaderno", que nos permite examinar cada uno de los efectos y aplicaciones realizados durante los ejercicios, analizándolos individualmente.
  En definitiva, se trata de un curso completo de dibujo en un volumen, en el que los principiantes aprenderán a utilizar este medio de expresión artística, mientras que los artistas experimentados dispondrán de una herramienta útil para practicar, con nuevos consejos que les ayudará a mejorar su práctica del dibujo, y nuevos trucos y efectos que podrán incorporar a su repertorio.
