ARTISTS
In the index all the names of artists, publishers, carvers and historical figures are based on Japanese tradition (last name, first name). Each artist had a unique name (artistic pseudonym), and last name (shown his relation to the dynasty, in capital letters) traditionally was not mentioned, so the artists in the index are divided by the names in alphabetical order of the English (Russian, Japanese) language.
Publishers, carvers and historical figures are divided by the names in alphabetical order of the English (Russian, Japanese) language.
