| 'Demonstrates the breadth and resilience of Japan’s artistic spirit' | | - Journal of the Royal Society of Arts |
When it was first published, this book was immediately recognized as the best critical overview available on the subject. The arts of Japan from the prehistoric period to the present are surveyed authoritatively and provocatively, bringing together the most recent research on the subject.
This edition, extensively revised, updated and expanded, is profusely illustrated with examples from all the arts — painting, calligraphy, the decorative arts and architecture — and has a wide-ranging bibliography. Japanese Art testifies to the unparalleled achievements of this ever fascinating culture in which interest has never been greater than it is today.
