стъпки в началото на лабиринта

Abstract

This paper describes a newly found private ukiyo–e collection that belonged to Pietro Montani, an Italian architect appointed Chief Architect of Eastern Rumelia (1885–1888). It also focuses on the present condition of four public gallery collections (National Gallery, Silistra, Plovdiv and Sliven Galleries). The significant role for ukiyo–e reception in Bulgaria played by the Japanese Embassy in Bulgaria is examined. Ideas on implementation of the subject of ukiyo–e in the curriculum of Japanology at Sofia University are shared too.
