What reading level is Impressions of Ukiyo-Ye, the School of the Japanese Colour-Print Artists book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" The influence of Kiyonaga pervades his most beautiful work; but later, under a life of constant self-indulgence, amongst associations all tending to demoralization, his genius suffered an eclipse. His loss of self-control affected his art, until the sweeping lines and noble contours which his brush had acquired in the atelier of Kiyonaga were lost or widely travestied into a "delirium of female tallness. " In these wild flights his brother artists followed in headlong pursuit, and the contagi...on of the movement swept the studios of Paris. In the modern poster we see the degenerate offspring of the genius of Utamaro, and of Toyokuni. Professor Fenollosa said, "The genera- tion of Aubrey Beardsley prefer these tricks to the sober grace of Harunobu, Kiyonaga and Koriusai. " It is art born of excess, a "Zolaism in prints. " The horrors of diseased imagination, the visions begotten of [44] IMPRESSIONS OF UKIYO-YE absinthe, which blot the brilliant pages of De Mau- passant and the verse of Paul Verlaine, were reflected by Utamaro in his studies of the loathsome and the abnormal, where Montaigne declares, "L' esprit faisant le cheval eschappe, enfantes des chimeres.
