About This Item
New Haven CT: Press, 1998. Paperback. Fine. written with John T. Carpenter, Hollis Godall, Bictor Harris, Matthew McKelway, Herman Ooms, Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere, Henry D. Smith II, Sharon S. Takeda, Melinda Takeuchi. "The West's understanding of historical Japan is almost wholly based on works of art from the Edo period--screen paintings of landscape settings and city life, woodblock prints of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, and courtesans; brilliantly colored porcelains; exquisitc textiles made for no theater or wealthy patrons. One hallmark of Edo art is the lack of distinction between 'high art' and 'crafts': an artist was as likely to design a lacquer box or a ceramic bowl as to paint on paper or silk. This lavishly illustrated book presents examples of Edo art in al media, discussed in the context of ornament, samurai arts, work, religion and festivals, landscapes and travel, and entertainment. Experts in the field have written essays that address the themes and entries that focus on the individual works of art." 480 pages This is a very large and heavy book, so shipping will be more than our standard rates, please inquire. ; 11 3/4 x 12 1/2 "; 480 pages.
