Japanese Art (World of Art)

â€œA long-needed presentation of Japanese art that concisely offers inclusive coverage from prehistoric times to the twentieth century.â€ â€•Choice
The uniqueness of Japanese culture rests on the fact that, throughout its history, Japan has continually taken, adapted, and transformed diverse influencesâ€•whether from Korea, China, and the South Seas, or Europe and Americaâ€•into distinct traditions of its own. This book, an authoritative and provocative survey of the arts of Japan from the prehistoric period to the present, brings together the results of the most recent research on the subject. In this expanded and updated edition, a new chapter explores Japanese art from the 1980s to the new millennium. Profusely illustrated with examples from a range of arts as well as an extensive bibliography, Japanese Art is a concise, thought-provoking overview of a fascinating culture. 185 illustrations, 50 in color
