The V&A has the UK's largest permanent display of Japanese art,
housing objects from the 6th century to the present day. Collecting
Japanese objects from its founding in 1852, the Museum has played a
significant role in bringing the art of Japan to the attention of
designers, manufacturers and the British public. This tradition
continues to the present day, and in this new book some of the
world's leading researchers in the field bring their attention to
the V&A's unparalleled collection. Ten chapters focus on
subjects including religion and ritual; samurai military and
aristocratic culture; the highly aestheticized tea ceremony, which
has been a notable feature of Japanese culture from the Medieval
period to the present day; Edo-period urban fashions including
lacquer and fashionable dress; Ukiyo-e and the graphic arts
(prints, illustrated books, paintings, screens and contemporary
photography); exchanges with the West and participation in world
exhibitions, right up to modern and contemporary crafts and product
design, including high-tech design.
